Why Kingston Carton Chose PEFC Certification
Kingston Carton became PEFC certified in 2014 in response to growing customer demand for environmentally responsible packaging, alongside its own clear commitment to sustainability.
The company recognises that cartons are made from one of the most sustainable natural resources on the planet: trees. Sustainably managed forests, such as those covered under PEFC scheme, ensure long-term environmental, social and economic benefits.
For Kingston Carton, PEFC Chain of Custody certification in the UK provides independent assurance that the materials used in its cartons come from responsibly managed sources. It supports transparency, strengthens trust across the supply chain and enables customers to make informed, socially and environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.
Speaking about the benefits of holding certification, Stephen Ticehurst, Reprographic and Technical Manager is of the opinion that “When customers see that Kingston Carton uses the PEFC logo, they immediately link our organisation to responsible production and responsible consumption, and this helps the customer to make a socially and environmentally responsible buying decision. Using the PEFC logo signifies that our products come from responsible sources; environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable.”
Using the PEFC Trademark
Kingston Carton actively uses the PEFC trademark across its marketing materials, including its website, stationery and company presentations.
Displaying the PEFC logo clearly communicates the company’s certification status and the responsibilities that come with it. It reinforces Kingston Carton’s sustainability commitments and provides customers with confidence that certified materials are traceable and responsibly sourced.
Supporting Responsible Packaging in the UK
As demand for sustainable packaging continues to grow across the UK packaging sector, PEFC Chain of Custody certification enables businesses such as Kingston Carton to demonstrate credible environmental performance throughout their supply chains.
By maintaining certification since 2014, Kingston Carton demonstrates long-term leadership in responsible packaging, helping customers meet environmental commitments while supporting sustainably managed forests for future generations.
