Frequently asked questions
Which products can be FSC® certified?
All products that have wood fibre content, such as paper, cardboard or wood, can be FSC® certified if they meet the right standards.
What is CEWE's position on the criticism of the FSC®?
We recognise and accept this criticism. Nevertheless, the FSC® is the most demanding seal for paper and wood products and is still supported by major environmental protection organizations. Therefore, the FSC® certification of our products is the best we can do for sustainable forest management.
Why is my CEWE PHOTOBOOK shrink-wrapped in plastic?
Plastic film is used to protect the product from damage. In this way, complaints are kept to a minimum. This leads to a reduction in the paper that would be consumed by reprinting a damaged order. We are looking for alternatives to replace the plastic packaging with a more environmentally friendly material.
Why aren't all CEWE photo products FSC® certified?
There are various reasons for this. Occasionally, we have to use small quantities of materials that are not yet certified for some of our products. 100% of the materials used must be certified in order to display the FSC® seal. In other cases, we simply have to adapt our processes so that they comply with all new guidelines during the annual FSC® audit. We are working hard to achieve this.
How has CEWE contributed to protecting the environment?
We support a variety of environmental projects and have manaintained close working relationships with several partners to help us achieve our sustainability goals. Please see our sustainability reports for more information.
