How do the FSC and SFI certifications differ from traditional recycling?
Recycled paper has been around for many years. Generally this paper is a lower quality than “virgin” paper and costs more. FSC and SFI promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests. Certified paper is “virgin” paper where the tree is planted, the pulp is made and the paper is manufactured by companies that have demonstrated their environmental vision.
