Biggest consumer brands worldwide are taking strides towards fostering and promoting sustainability.
In the wake of the movement to make more sustainable choices, the use of paper bags as an alternative to single-use plastic bags is gaining focus. Owing to the global environmental consciousness, paper bags are being used extensively across various industries including retail, eCommerce, and food service. With UAE all set to implement its integrated, single-use plastic policy, recycled kraft paper bags can serve as a viable alternative for retailers and brands alike, especially when you have to give a bag free of charge to your consumers.
Here are 4 reasons why your company should turn attention towards sourcing FSC-certified, 100% recycled kraft paper bags.
1. FSC is the certification of responsibly sourced kraft paper bags –
The Forest Stewardship Council (or FSC) is a market certification program that acts as a recognized stamp of approval for products that maintain their environmental benefits and promote responsible management of the world’s forests. This means that sourcing kraft paper bags with FSC labels can give your brand the confidence that your choice is not harming the forests. An audit trail has to be maintained from the source of the paper to the bag manufacturer.
2. FSC Mandate –
FSC is the single largest internationally operating accreditation body under which the certified companies voluntarily conserve forests while producing paper. Every tree that is cut for paper is replaced by 3 saplings planted.
3. Promote recyclability –
100% recycled paper bags are made of wood or fibers from reclaimed and reused materials. If you are determined to position yourself as an eco-conscious brand using 100% recycled paper, ensure that you are not cutting more trees and using available resources. Several major brands around the world have chosen to use 100% recycled paper. Since paper can be recycled, again and again, you can promote recycled paper bags made from already available recycled paper ensuring that fewer trees are cut.
4. Brand perception –
FSC is a recognized stamp of approval on products that are derived from responsible sources. FSC provides the assurance that you are not cutting more trees and saving the environment in the process. When you are using FSC, you gain consumer confidence and consumers perceive the brand as more sustainable and eco-conscious.
