FSC: Transparency in the paper supply chain

What exactly is FSC?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international certification that stands for responsible forest management. The goal is simple: to protect forests for future generations. Paper with an FSC claim comes from forests subject to strict rules regarding ecology, social conditions, and the economy. This ensures that the origin of the paper fibers is demonstrable through a controlled supply chain.

All stand-up pouches

Our approach: Freedom of choice and quality

At PouchDirect, it's all about finding the best packaging for your product. Many of our production partners use FSC-certified paper as standard. However, in the global packaging market, FSC material is not always the only or the best option for every specific application.

Therefore, we supply pouches both with and without an FSC claim. Our priority? Packaging that optimally protects your product, is food-safe, and complies with European legislation.

FSC and the new EUDR legislation

The European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies to prove that their products do not contribute to deforestation. Although FSC is a valuable tool for traceability, it does not provide an automatic exemption for the EUDR. It does, however, offer a well-documented basis for the origin of your material. We are happy to help you collect the right documentation, regardless of the type of paper you choose.
