Are printed products with both FSC-Recycled and FSC-Mix 70% paper covered by the Regulation?
According to Chapter 7(b) of the EUDR Guidelines, printed products made from recycled paper (FSC-Recycled) are not covered by the Regulation? But now the cover of a perfect bound brochure is made of FSC recycled material and the content is made of a printing stock that is declared as FSC Mix 70%. Is the larger quantity of the printing material – i.e. the content paper – taken into account here?

Hi Johanna
I understand that a certain amount of pre-consumer material has been used in the paper. As a print shop that purchases the FSC Recycled-certified paper from our paper merchant and the paper merchant in turn from the paper mill, we must assume that the material has been correctly declared in the upstream process of the supply chain. We also have no testing equipment in production to check the durability of the substrate – the time window between receipt and dispatch of the goods is sometimes very short, or if the paper is printed, it could only be checked between the time of further processing (finishing) and provision for customs export.
