What does FSC Certified Really Mean?

Last Updated on June 17, 2025 by Kira Andrus

At ClearBags, we talk a lot about “Packaging with Purpose.” For us, that purpose goes beyond function–it’s about doing right by the planet.

That’s why many of our paper products, like our envelopes and Paper Merchandise Handle Bags, are FSC Certified. But FSC isn’t just another eco-badge.

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, a global nonprofit that ensures forests are managed in ways that are environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically sustainable.

When you choose FSC Certified packaging, you’re supporting:

• Responsible forestry practices
• Protection of wildlife and ecosystems
• Ethical labor conditions
• More confident, values-aligned choices for your business

FSC is just one piece of our Sustainability Commitment– a promise to bring you packaging solutions that are compostable, recyclable, and always improving.

If you’re looking to elevate your brand with packaging that looks good and does good, we’re here for it.
