FSC is the world’s most trusted forest certification scheme, dedicated to protecting the world’s forests and the people and wildlife who call them home. Our globally consistent standards address important social, environmental, and economic issues in the production of forest products. What makes FSC unique is that we were founded - and are still operated by - environmentalists, social interest groups, Indigenous Peoples' organisations, responsible retailers, and leading forest management companies. As a non-profit membership-based organisation, we are driven by the balanced perspectives of these diverse stakeholders. FSC Australia and New Zealand is a national office of FSC International. We ensure that the voices of Australian and New Zealand stakeholders are heard internationally through our membership, in creating the standards, and promoting the scheme.

We create items that aren’t consumed quickly. Instead, we focus on making good quality products that can be used for a long time, repaired, and then used for even longer. ”Since 1861, Yoshiko Miyamoto’s family has been crafting taiko drums and other Japanese festival equipment.

Are you aware that if handles on paper bags aren’t recyclable, the whole bag can end up as waste? Unless customers are educated about removing handles before they are put in their home recycling bin, the entire bag can end up as landfill. As fashion manufacturers, it’s a disappointing outcome, as we try hard to create less environmental impact. Our solution: we help retailers improve their practices by offering paper retail bags - including handles - made from FSC certified paper. Not only can the whole bag be placed into a kerbside recycling bin, but the paper is sourced responsibly, protecting forest ecosystems.
