Too many Environmentally Friendly Certifications!@#$%&

In the late 1990’s the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) were introduced. Both are third party certification parties that review the entire supply chain for a fee. The certificate confirms the chain of custody for standards that address the fiber content and the forest, which was harvested. Certified papers are more expensive. The board conducts an audit of the entire process from the tree to the production through to the distributor or printer. Paper.com has many paper items that are FSC and SFI certified in the new Green Store, along with thousands of other environmentally friendly papers. Including paper with all the popular certifications such as Green Certification, Alternative energy Certification, Tree Free Certification, Chlorine Free Certification, 25-100% recycled Certification, Green Seal Certificate, etc.
