The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) is a global, not for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. FSC defines standards based on agreed principles for consistent forest stewardships, which are supported by environmental, social and economic stakeholders. 

Products which bear the “FSC® Recycled 100%” designation have been verified as being made from 100% recycled content (either post-consumer or pre-consumer reclaimed materials). The use of FSC Recycled products can help to alleviate the pressure of demand on sources of virgin material, thereby helping to protect the world’s forests.

Choosing products with the FSC designation ensures that both customers and organizations are doing their part to preserve forests across the globe.

Corporate social responsibility and sustainability are more than just buzzwords. Consumers expect businesses to be part of the solution when it comes to environmental and social issues. 

FSC labels can be found on millions of products around the world – from toilet rolls to your favorite book, to that milk carton in your fridge and other food products. To achieve their mission and vision, FSC has developed a set of ten principles and 70 criteria that apply to FSC certified forests around the world.

All of HC’s fiber products (including growing containers and protective packaging) have been certified as “FSC® Recycled 100%”.
