Ranpak Earns Full FSC® Certification for its Paper Packaging Products

Ranpak announced that all of its European manufacturing facilities have obtained a Chain of Custody
certification from the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) and that, going forward, packaging products produced by Ranpak for the European, Middle East and Asia-Pacific markets will be FSC certified. The designation further solidifies the company’s mission to ‘Deliver a Better World™’.
Ranpak’s packaging materials begin life in responsibly managed forests and, after use, can be readily recycled through the conventional recycling infrastructure or biodegraded naturally, without causing long-term pollution. “At Ranpak, our goal is to help our customers conduct their businesses as sustainably as possible, without sacrificing efficiency or performance and, by offering FSC-certified products, we further empower our customers to do exactly that,” said Omar Asali, Chairman & CEO of Ranpak. “Our solutions are extremely important to our customers, both for the environmental benefits and the positive effects on customer satisfaction and brand reputation. We are proud to play a key role in reducing the environmental impact of our customers by replacing their plastic packaging with a better more sustainable solution – paper.” The FSC sets standards for responsible forest management, and FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. Unlike plastic, all of Ranpak’s paper packaging materials are renewable, biodegradable and curbside recyclable.
Ranpak is a member of the Plastic Pollution Coalition, a global alliance working toward a world free of
plastic pollution, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, which brings packaging sustainability stakeholders
together to catalyze actionable improvements to packaging systems and lend an authoritative voice on issues
related to packaging sustainability.
