fold faq Is there a minimum content of FSC input in products labeled as FSC Mixed Sources required?

The proportion of FSC-certified and recycled material used in the production must be at least 70% to qualify for the FSC Mixed Sources label. This means that if a manufacturer produces 100 chairs and has FSC-certified and recycled material for 70 chairs, then all the chairs can carry the FSC Mixed Sources label. If a manufacturer uses less than 70% FSC-certified and recycled material, but a minimum of 10% FSC-certified and recycled material it is only allowed, to label a proportion of the production which is equivalent to the proportion of FSC certified and recycled input used in the production. For example, if a manufacturer produces 100 chairs, but only has FSC-certified and recycled material for 30 chairs, then only 30 chairs can carry the FSC Mixed Sources label.  more
