Tout savoir sur les labels PEFC et FSC

All about PEFC and FSC labels

For all companies, it is necessary to anchor their activity in a sustainable and environmentally friendly economy. This is not only a necessity for the preservation of the planet, but it is also a decisive selling point for customers. Indeed, responsible purchasing is now an essential criterion for businesses.
But how can you ensure that your packaging is part of this approach? We take a look at PEFC and FSC certified products at Cav'Service.

  

What are the differences between the PEFC and FSC labels?

  

Both FSC and PEFC labels were created to meet the urgent need to preserve the planet's natural resources, particularly in terms of international forest management. These two labels, while very similar, have notable differences that are worth knowing.

  

Differences between the labels

  

The FSC certification for Forest Stewardship Council, is an international non-profit NGO created in 1993. This eco-label guarantees wood or paper from sustainably managed forests in all countries of the world. It is the only label supported by the WWF. In addition to these environmental commitments, the FSC label also promotes fair working conditions and participates in the economic development of local communities.

  

The PEFC label, for Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, also concerns the sustainable management of forest operations. This label was created in 1999 to meet the expectations of European professionals who considered the FSC label unsuitable for smaller European forests.

  

 

Obtaining and renewing labels

  

Obtaining FSC and PEFC certification is not easy, as the criteria of both labels have strong requirements. Despite their differences, these labels have common criteria.

  

  • Preserving biodiversity
  • Protecting forests
  • Participating in the local economy
  • Reducing your carbon footprint

  

An independent body monitors each forest protection system. Today, approximately 10% of the world's forests are PEFC or FSC certified.

  

Why PEFC and FSC certified products are important for your business?

  

More than just packaging, your certified packaging reflects your ecological commitment. Forest protection is an important issue in our country and internationally. In France, more and more consumers are sensitive to this approach.

  

Sustainable packaging production

  

With traceability of your packaging's journey, from the forest to your business, passing through Cav'Service suppliers' factories, you are assured of a quality product that respects the environment. Each product is controlled from A to Z to offer companies a follow-up of the wood and the certification requirements.

  

They are part of a sustainable approach to preserving resources and biodiversity. There is also an FSC Recycled certification that ensures products made from recycled wood.

  

  

Enhanced brand image

  

By clearly displaying your ecological commitments, you strengthen customer confidence. You show that you are taking concrete action. This is how you enhance your brand.

  

Your image is also enhanced compared to your competitors. You differentiate yourself to attract committed customers. It is thanks to these labels that you prove your concrete commitment while meeting regulatory standards in France.
