SIG Combibloc extends FSC certification to Asia

摘要

SIG Combibloc extends its production of dairy cartons with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification into Asia this year. The FSC cartons, guaranteeing more sustainable production of the required wood pulp as well as traceability of carton material right back to the forest of origin, are already used in Europe. SIG produces around 20 billion carton sleeves per year at current capacity. CEO Rolf Stangl says that worldwide he wants 40% of the company's carton material to be FSC certificated by 2015.
