As a manufacturer of natural products, ABC Tissue Products is acutely aware of the importance of the environment. Clearly the sustainability of forests and ecosystems that provide us with raw materials are crucial to our future success.
ABC Tissue Products uses resources approved by one of the world's largest forest certification systems for sustainable forest management. Their marks of approval are your guarantee that by buying our products you are helping to protect forests for future generations and promoting the responsible sourcing of timber resources worldwide. Furthermore, we do that extra bit for the environment by operating our own paper recycling plant in Brisbane.
Currently there’s a lot of discussion taking place regarding the negative effect of plastic packaging on the environment. On one hand there’s currently 8 million tonnes of plastic floating in our oceans. On the other hand, plastic has proven to be a very efficient packaging material especially in regard to keeping items protected and uncontaminated. The benefits of plastic are numerous, but there’s no denying the fact that it’s overused.
In response to consumer concerns, the plastic industry has acted to better the material’s environmental impact. Plastic is mostly made from oil, therefore it’s not easy to recycle. However, some plastics can be recycled and made into new plastics whereas the rest can be incinerated to produce energy. The recyclability of plastic is dependent on its composition and the complexity of polymers involved.
Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) works to improve forest management worldwide, and through certification creates an incentive for forest owners and managers to follow best social and environmental practices. The growing demand for FSC certified products tells forest owners that businesses and consumers prefer products from well managed forests.
By working to promote environmentally and socially beneficial forest management, FSC helps both local communities and society at large to enjoy long-term benefits of managing forests in a responsible way. As the world’s most respected forest certification scheme, FSC is a global system with certificates issued in all forest types around the world.
The FSC trademark means that:
