Syncmen Has FSC Certification

What is FSC?

Forest Stewardship Council, in brief, it is an independent, non-governmental, and non-profit organization. Its goal is to promote the idea of the planet's ever long lasting forest livelihood. The products certified by FSC are labeled as "Forest Friendly Products".

Why FSC?

WWF shows that deforestation leads to a rise in our climate temperature, which then directly leads to climate change. According to research by the World Resource Institute, rainforests are the faster forest to face extinction. From 1960 to 1990, almost one-fifth of Earth's rainforest has disappeared. To put it in simple words, rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 220,000 square meters (22 hectares).

By using FSC certified products, we could all play a part in saving the rainforest.

Why FSC paper instead of recycled paper?

1. Recycled paper are suited for producing newspapers and cartons. It's harder to use them to produce higher-end products, and could also lead other unwanted contamination to the environment.

2. If recycled paper is made from materials from the rainforest, it only slows down the deforestation of other forest resources.

3. If the world focuses on only using recycled paper, we still have to create more fresh paper pulp. As the lifespan of recycled paper is only 5~6 times.

4. Sources and quantity of recycled paper cannot be regulated and check as FSC paper.

You can use the serial number on any FSC label to check its legitimacy on (http://www.fsc-info.org) to make sure.
