Munyai explained that the FSC logo is widely recognised by consumers, which enables them to choose brands that are driving sustainable forestry.
Producers have begun meeting consumer demands for sustainable, responsible packaging, Tetra Pak announced. The company said that more Middle Eastern and African companies have started using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) labelled cartons to package their food and beverage products. Agripa Munyai, environmental manager at Tetra Pak South Africa, said that “consumers in this region (Middle East and Africa) are gradually becoming aware of environmental issues. “Companies need a clear label on their package to communicate their commitment to the environment in a straightforward way, and we are happy to support our customers with responsible sourcing and labelling,” he added.
