The paper manufacturer you buy paper from works with The Forest Stewardship Council.What does this mean?

Question

Options

• AThe paper aligns with responsible forest use.
• BThe paper is only made of new fiber from trees.
• C50% of the paper's content is recycled.
• D100% of the paper's content is recycled.

• A
  94% (15)
• B
  6% (1)

Explanation

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization that certifies wood and paper products sourced from forests managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way - so FSC certification confirms responsible forest use, not any specific recycled content percentage. Options C and D are wrong because FSC makes no guarantee about recycled content at all; those figures are arbitrary and not tied to FSC standards. Option B is also incorrect because FSC-certified paper can include recycled fiber - the council focuses on how forests are managed, not on requiring virgin fiber. A useful memory tip: think of FSC as a stewardship stamp - it's about caring for forests responsibly, not about what percentage of the paper came from recycled sources.
