FSC® 2026: building trust through a certified Chain of Custody

At Ecopack, we continue to strongly promote the use of FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified paper in the production of our moulds intended for direct contact with food.

Our commitment is concrete and ongoing: we adopt responsible sourcing practices with the aim of contributing to the protection of forests, biodiversity, and local communities, through ethical and conscious business choices throughout the entire supply chain.

What is FSC® certification

FSC® certification is one of the most widely recognized and rigorous forest management systems at a global level.

Through an independent model based on audits, periodic inspections, and checks along the entire supply chain, FSC® ensures that materials come from responsibly managed forests.

This means:

• protection of forest areas and prevention of deforestation
• protection of biodiversity and reduction of environmental impact
• exclusion of harmful practices and hazardous chemical substances
• respect for local communities and the rights of Indigenous peoples
• full traceability along the Chain of Custody

FSC® certification therefore integrates environmental, social, and economic criteria, promoting sustainable forest resource management worldwide.

Social responsibility and Chain of Custody

The FSC® system is not limited to environmental aspects, but also includes strict social responsibility requirements.

In particular, it:

• ensures safe and ethical working conditions throughout the entire supply chain
• promotes respect for workers’ rights
• supports the involvement of local communities in forest resource management
• ensures transparency through independent audits and the publication of control results
• facilitates access to markets that require FSC® certified products

The Chain of Custody is therefore a key tool for ensuring traceability, transparency, and reliability at every stage of the production process.

Ecopack and FSC® certified paper

Today, Ecopack exclusively uses FSC® certified paper for the production of its moulds intended for direct contact with food, ensuring full traceability along the Chain of Custody.

This commitment represents both a strategic and value-based choice: to actively contribute to the responsible management of forest resources and to the reduction of environmental impact throughout the production chain.

Our product range is available upon request with FSC® certification, confirming a production system oriented toward sustainability and transparency.

Our sustainable business model

The fiber used for our paper moulds comes from responsibly managed forests, controlled in accordance with FSC® standards.

Our suppliers operate in compliance with major international certifications, including:

• FSC® Chain of Custody
• ISO 9001
• BRC

These certifications confirm our commitment to ensuring high standards at every stage of production, from raw materials to the finished product.

Paper moulds: a responsible choice for the future

Choosing our paper moulds means adopting a solution that goes beyond the product itself: it is a conscious choice based on sustainability, responsibility, and quality.

Since 1939, our commitment has been to offer paper-based solutions that combine performance with respect for the environment, contributing to a more responsible consumption model.

We believe that every decision, even the smallest one, can generate a significant impact. For this reason, we work every day together with clients and partners to build a more sustainable, transparent, and innovative supply chain.

A look to the future

The path undertaken by Ecopack continues to evolve with the goal of strengthening, in an increasingly concrete and measurable way, the sustainability of our production chain across the entire product life cycle.

FSC® certification represents a fundamental part of this strategy, but it is not a final destination: it is a tool that guides us daily toward continuous improvement, driving us to innovate processes, materials, and operational practices in line with environmental, social, and economic responsibility.

Building a more sustainable future is not an end point, but a shared journey made of consistent choices, collaboration, and transparency throughout the entire supply chain. For this reason, we continue to invest in strong relationships with our clients and partners, aware that only through joint commitment is it possible to generate a lasting positive impact.

Ecopack is determined to play an active role in this change, contributing every day to more responsible, forward-looking development.
