Group Certification Makes FSC Affordable for In-plants
What is InGreen?
InGreen is an acronym for In-plant Graphic Reproduction for the Environment, Ecology and Nature. The program has received permission from the Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood Program to establish an FSC group certification program for in-plant printers. Any qualifying in-plant printer participating in the program will become FSC chain-of-custody (CoC) certified upon meeting all the requirements set forth by FSC and the group management.
