Paper & Printing

Use of FSC-certified paper has exploded over the past few years, nearly becoming an industry standard. With group certification readily available for printers, the costs for achieving FSC certification have been greatly reduced. In addition, FSC-certified paper is now available in all US markets.

In order to use the FSC logo on printed documents, the document must have flowed through the FSC Chain of Custody from the FSC-certified forest, to a paper manufacturer, merchant, and finally to a printer that has FSC Chain-of-Custody certification.
