FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)
Not a bin instructionAbout where the paper comes from, not which bin it goes in.
Which bin?
This doesn't tell you which bin. Most FSC paper/card products are recyclable. Look for an OPRL label.
What does it mean?
The FSC tree-and-checkmark logo means the paper or wood in this product comes from responsibly managed forests. It's about sustainable sourcing (deforestation, biodiversity, workers' rights), not about recyclability. That said, most FSC-certified paper and cardboard products are recyclable. Look for an OPRL label to confirm which bin.
