FSC® certification

All Ranpak paper is now FSC®-certified

As part of our mission to Deliver a Better World™, all paper produced by Ranpak EMEA is now certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), from March 22nd, 2021. While we have already been using FSC®-certified paper for many years, certifying 100% of our paper is the final step to creating a fully sustainable chain of custody.

Ranpak has chosen to partner with the FSC® as the world’s most trusted provider of sustainable forest management. The organization is an original pioneer of forest certification and has over 25 years of experience in setting the gold standard. Its unique and democratic standard-setting process is in line with our own commitment to good corporate citizenship. Forest owners, communities and businesses arrive at key management decisions jointly, ensuring positive impacts on forests – today and in the future.

The value of certification

Using FSC®-certified materials creates environmental, economic, and social benefits. Ranpak customers can now be sure that their packaging materials come from sustainable, legally permitted sources. Along with improved sustainability, the FSC®-certification label also communicates a valuable brand message to consumers.

Consumer demand for responsible products continues to grow, and brands that drive sustainability forward are thriving. Paper and paperboard are popular alternatives to plastic for protecting goods during transport. However, to be considered truly sustainable they must not promote deforestation or poor forestry practices. Ranpak’s FSC®-certified materials help businesses to protect one of the world’s most precious natural resources, mitigating climate change by preserving forest land. By providing our business partners with sustainable options, we are helping them to be part of the solution.

Valuable brand message

Zero deforestation

Although trees are harvested, there is no net loss of forest over time.

Environmental protection

FSC certification requires biodiversity to be maintained, and high conservation value areas – including old growth forests – to be protected.

Indigenous Peoples’ rights respected

FSC certification requires forest inhabitants to be consulted and engaged, and cultural rights to be maintained.

Fair wage and work environment for workers

FSC certification requires training, safety and decent wages for all workers.

Joining the circular economy

Using Ranpak materials communicates a clear message to your customers. You are committed to eliminating plastic waste pollution and seeking reliable alternatives that do not harm the planet. It means that your business plays its part in creating the truly circular recycling economy of the future.
