FSC Certification

All of the pulp used in all of our FSC-certified grades is tracked and documented through the chain-of-custody process. This means that they are made with pulp acquired from forests that are well-managed in accordance with the FSC's principles and criteria and are labeled with the FSC logo.  In addition, we have initiated a "pulp sourcing policy" which regularly survey our standard pulp suppliers to obtain information about their forestry practices.

With our Nature product lines, choosing a Nature 10 grade means 10% is PCW fiber and the remaining 90% of the fiber is FSC-certified. If you choose Nature 30 grades, then 30% is PCW content and the remaining 70% will be FSC-certified fiber.  The Sonoma or Capistrano FSC-certified product credits 100% of the fiber as FSC certified.
