FSC-certified beverage cartons

SIG Combibloc has launched FSC-certified beverage cartons for fruit juice drinks and ice teas in Europe.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) label is internationally acknowledged as one of the most recognised and most widely accepted verifications for the processing of wood fibres. The FSC label states that wood fibres used to manufacture a given product can be proven to originate from forests that are certified according to FSC guidelines, managed responsibly and to the highest standards or from other controlled sources.

The FSC label on the beverage cartons is a clear visual confirmation to consumers that all the wood fibres used to manufacture the packaging can be traced back to their source - along the entire value-added chain from the labelled carton pack right up to the forest of origin - in accordance with the FSC standards.

SIG Combibloc is the first manufacturer of aseptic carton packs that has had all of its production plants in Europe certified in accordance with the FSC criteria for a complete chain of custody (CoC) verification. This means that SIG Combibloc can now offer for sale throughout Europe aseptic carton packs that are permitted to carry the label ‘FSC Mixed Sources’.

The FSC Mixed Sources label confirms that the wood fibres processed to manufacture the packaging originate from FSC-certified forests and other controlled sources. This offers demonstrable proof that wood from illegal sources, depleted forests or sources that cannot be verified is avoided. The FSC logo also confirms that appropriate quantities of the wood used to manufacture the carton were bought from FSC-certified forests managed to the highest standards.
