Kao Starts Using FSC-Certified Corrugated Carton, The First In Japan To Do So

Kao Group said it has started using Forest Stewardship Council-certified corrugated cartons for packaging. With the company starting to purchase FSC corrugated cartons in March 2016, Kao aims to have about 50 percent of corrugated cartons it is using certified by the organization. Kao Environment Statement seeks to purchase only recycled paper or sustainably sourced paper and pulp for use in consumer products, packaging, and office paper. Also, when the company uses virgin pulp, Kao pledges to zero deforestation at the source.
