We also have PEFC certification which means that we comply with the chain of custody standard endorsed by the PEFC Council.

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international programme promoting sustainable forest management. This is to ensure good practice in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards.

PEFC Certification means that the board used for our packaging comes from a sustainable source and there is a chain of custody tracking the board from the forest right down to the end product.

This programme has a number of benefits:

  • Environmental – protects natural resources, stops forest losses, reduces pollution and toxic waste, does not compromise the needs of future generations.

  • Social Benefits – protect workersrights, considers health and safety needs of communities.

  • Economic benefits – a long-term sustainable income stream.

Should you like to use a PEFC certified stock for your packaging, under our certification we may be able print a certified logo to show sustainability of your packaging board. Ask one of our business development managers about what PEFC can do for your brand.
