Asia Symbol has recently launched the first type of copier paper branded with both PEFC and CFCC logos
JAKARTA, INDONESIA / ACCESSWIRE / July 17, 2015 / Asia Symbol, part of the RGE Group, announced on June the 3rd 2015 in Beijing, that it would start production on a new type of copier paper product that would bear both the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) and the CFCC (Chinese Forestry Certification Council) logo. This represents a whole new approach toward sustainable forest management in China.
In 2014, PEFC endorsed the CFCC, after the Council managed to demonstrate that it could comply with the PEFC Sustainability Benchmarks - a set of sustainability standards recognized by 40 countries worldwide. These include the USA, the UK and France.
The standards themselves imply that any product branded with the CFCC logo can also be provided with the PEFC logo, meaning that the same sustainability standards regarding the source of their materials apply. Basically, this implies that the products themselves are sourced from sustainable forests and their chain of production can be traced to points of origin that can easily be verified.
Asia Symbol managed to obtain CFCC certification in 2012, and two years later, the company became PEFC certified. Once the endorsement went through, the company could start producing, distributing and exporting its new paper products in China using both logos.
"It is an exciting time both for the company and for China's paper industry. The increased focus on sustainable paper production shows that many more people understand the importance of using sustainable materials for production." - said one of the company's representatives.
The change, however, has not only brought a transformation to the production chain, but has also raised the bar when it comes to the thorough standards required for both CFCC and PEFC CoC (Chain of Custody) certification. Asia Symbol may be the first company adhering to these production criteria, but experts believe that this is only the start of a period of striking improvement in China's sustainable development.
