Challenges & Solutions
FSC Certified Paper & Printers in India – While there are abundant paper manufacturing companies, who have got themselves as FSC certified, FSC certified paper traders are handful. We have been playing an instrumental role in educating paper traders to get FSC certified, but it looks like a long road ahead. We have been helping companies find FSC certified paper dealers and distributors, to complete the FSC chain of custody.
FSC Certified Wood & Plywood in India – A similar story prevails in the timber sector, where supply of FSC certified wood remains challenge, as the area of forest certified under FSC FM (Forest Management) is very thin. While most of the manufacturers depend on imported timber, the demand for FSC certified timber is on the rise and remains unfulfilled.
