UPM Raflatac has announced that all of its labelstock slitting and distribution operations in the Chinese terminals of Guangzhou and Tianjin are now FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) certified to the main global forest certification stanrds. This means the range of eco-labeled paper label materials available in China will increase.

Sustainable origin and traceability for all packaging materials have grown in global importance, despite labels being a small part of packaging.

The CoC certification means that label converters and brand owners can trust that the UPM Raflatac label materials carrying the FSC or PEFC logo contain wood fiber verified as coming from sustainable and legally managed forests.

“This is an important step in our efforts to supply products that are sustainable over their life cycle, and to expand our range of CoC-labeled products,” says Robert Taylor, director of stakeholder relations as UPM Raflatac. ”It demonstrates our strong commitment to meeting the Asian markets’ growing expectation that we deliver sustainable products. We are now selling around 700 certified products globally.”

Earlier this year, UPM Raflatac conducted an extensive CoC tour in several Southeast Asian countries. Hundreds of label converters and brand owners have attended the workshops, seminars and other events to discuss and share their knowledge on forest certification and responsible sourcing in the label industry.
