On Last 20th April 2006, Cartiere del Garda products were certified (N° SA-COC-1534) by the U.K. Certification Body Woodmark Soil Association according to its certification credit system.
This certification states that all the cellulose used in our process originate from certified sources, in accordance with FSC-STD-40-004 standard, and from controlled sources.
The controlled sources must comply with another FSC standard (the FSC-STD-40-005), thus guaranteeing that the substances used to produce the raw fibre material do not arrive from:
- areas where forests management violates civil or traditional rights;
- areas where forest management units threaten the preservation philosophy of forests;
- areas where there might be a number of genetically modified (GM) trees;
- units using illegal forests management practices;
- natural forests that have been converted into plantations or other, non-woodland use.
