Insight

As the leading publication within the industry, Fastener + Fixing Magazine always ensures it is at the forefront of the market when it comes to the latest developments, including sustainability.

For several years Fastener + Fixing Magazine has been partnered with a PEFC certified printer and ensures that the printed magazine is produced using PEFC certified paper – enabling our readers to keep up to date with the latest news and developments, safe in the knowledge their printed magazine is produced sustainably. 

The PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) through independent third party certification. PEFC works throughout the entire forest supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards.

Buying from responsibly managed forests means respecting the forest owners – large and small – to maintain biodiversity, productivity and regeneration capacity. In Europe, where almost all primary forests are protected, paper comes from sustainably managed forests where the cycle of planting, growing and harvesting is carefully controlled.

The PEFC’s distinctive ‘green trees’ logo (included on page 8 of every printed magazine) is a truly global brand and means customers and consumers are able to identify that every printed magazine is from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources.

Alongside guaranteeing that the magazine is produced using sustainably managed forests and controlled sources, Fastener + Fixing Magazine has  also ensured that the plastic delivery bags used for every magazine are made from recyclable material and are also bio-degradable.
