Is there a minimum content of FSC input in products labeled as FSC ‘Mixed Sources’ required?
The proportion of FSC certified and recycled material used in the production must be at least 70% to qualify for the FSC “Mixed Sources” label. This means that if a manufacturer produces 100 chairs and has FSC certified and recycled material for 70 chairs, then all the chairs can carry the FSC “Mixed Sources” label. If a manufacturer uses less than 70% but more than 10% of FSC certified and recycled material, they are allowed to label a proportion of the production which is equivalent to the proportion of FSC certified and recycled input used in the production. For example, if a manufacturer produces 100 chairs, but only has FSC certified and recycled material for 30 chairs, then only 30 chairs can carry the FSC “Mixed Sources” label.
