What does an FSC claim mean for my brand's paper stand-up pouch?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international certification for responsible forest management. If you choose paper with an FSC claim, you can be sure that the paper fibers come from forests subject to strict rules regarding ecology, social conditions, and the economy. Thanks to a controlled supply chain, the origin is demonstrable, and your packaging contributes to protecting forests for future generations.
What choices do I have regarding paper stand-up pouches and certifications with you?
At PouchDirect, it's all about the very best packaging for your specific product. That's why we offer optimal freedom of choice. Many of our production partners use FSC-certified paper as standard. Because this is not always the absolute best option for every application in the global packaging market, we consciously supply pouches both with and without an FSC claim. Our highest priority? Packaging that perfectly protects your product, is absolutely food-safe, and fully complies with European legislation.
How does FSC packaging help me with the new EUDR legislation?
The European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies to demonstrate that their products do not contribute to deforestation. Choosing FSC is an enormously valuable tool in this regard. It ensures excellent traceability and provides a very strong, well-documented basis for reliably proving the origin of your material.
