Recognised certificates for recycled paper

Your contribution to more environmental protection

There are various certificates that attest to the sustainability of recycled paper. The following certificates ensure that recycled paper is sustainable sourced and is produced in an environmentally friendly way. Businesses and consumers can be confident that by buying certified recycled paper they are making a positive contribution to protecting the environment.

Blue Angel*

The Blue Angel has been the German government's environmental label for over 45 years. It identifies environmentally friendly products and services. No other label in the non-food sector is as broadly based. Many everyday products bear the eco-label: for example, paints, furniture, detergents or recycled paper. The Blue Angel guarantees that 100 % of the paper fibres are obtained from waste paper and that no harmful chemicals or optical brighteners are added to the paper during production.

FSC Recycled*

The label is awarded by the FSC – Forest Stewardship Council®. The independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation was founded in 1993 as part of the follow-up processes after the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro. Today, the FSC is represented by national working groups in over 80 countries. Products with the "FSC-Recycled" label are made from 100 % recycled materials. The use of recycled material conserves valuable forest resources and reduces the pressure to cut down more trees.

EU Ecolabel*

The EU Ecolabel is the EU eco-label recognised in all Member States of the European Union, but also by Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. Introduced in 1992 by an EU regulation (Regulation EEC 880/92), the voluntary label has gradually become a reference for consumers who want to help reduce pollution by buying greener products and services.

Further information

PEFC recycled*

PEFC is the world's largest independent certification system for sustainable forest management. Wood and paper products with the PEFC label demonstrably originate from ecologically, economically and socially sustainable forest management. The "PEFC recycled" label is used when a product consists of at least 70 % recycled material. The proportion of recycled material is calculated according to ISO / IEC 14021.
