CHESTER MEDICAL UNDERLINES ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS WITH FSC ACCREDITATION
The FSC accreditation has been awarded to Chester Medical's Deeside packaging plant and provides assurance that cartons and leaflets produced by the company can be guaranteed to originate from sustainable forest sources. Chester Medical provides contract packing services to many leading companies in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. The company offers an unrivalled range of in-house contract services, combined with in-depth market knowledge and experience, to deliver a 'one-stop-shop' to meet customers' entire packaging requirements. The Forestry Stewardship Council is an international organisation which encourages solutions that promote responsible stewardship of the world's forests. Its Chain of Custody (COC) certification provides a guarantee about the production of FSC-certified products and encompasses the path taken by raw materials from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution. David Patterson, Managing Director of Chester Medical Solutions comments, "We are very proud to announce this important accreditation. The environment is a vital part of any packaging solution today and FSC accreditation demonstrates our commitment to this area. This is a major achievement which will give us a real competitive edge in the key markets we serve."
