FAQ
Common questions from sellers
Does paper packaging need FSC?
It depends on buyer/platform requirements and whether the packaging is used as a sustainability claim.
Can I use a supplier FSC certificate?
Only if the supply chain, invoice claims and product scope support your final claim.
Can I freely write FSC Mix or FSC Recycled?
No. The exact wording must match certificates, material category, label authorization and product files.
