Our Environmental Commitment

Ablebox is committed to looking after our environment and we understand that it is important to our customers too. We're proud to offer chain of custody to guarantee that our products are sourced using materials from well-managed FSC-certified forests, recycled materials, and other controlled sources.

FSC Chain of Custody

Chain of Custody (CoC) is the path taken by raw materials and products from the forest through the supply chain to the end-consumer. It includes each stage of sourcing, processing, trading and distribution where progress to the next stage of the supply chain involves a change of product ownership.

Our FSC Chain of Custody certification ensures that FSC-certified material is identified and separated from non-certified material throughout our supply chain. This provides credible assurance to consumers that FSC-labeled products come from well-managed FSC-certified forests, recycled materials, and other controlled sources.

This certification enables us to purchase FSC-certified raw materials and sell FSC-labeled products, providing our customers with packaging solutions that support responsible forest management.
