This is not a marketing argument.
DISNEY FAMA BSCI
FSC OEKO-TEX SGS
IMAGINED AND DRAWN IN BELGIUM
Our aim is to do the maximum here at home.
One day, we want to be able to say that Silwete is 100% Belgian. But as a young brand, we also have to deal with the reality of budgets.
When this isn't possible in Belgium, we have production done in Europe. And if it's not feasible even there, only then do we outsource it outside Europe.
But never at the expense of human conditions, and never in areas of exploitation. That is non-negotiable.
If we manage to grow in this competitive world, we will become a 100% Belgian brand. And that day, we will show the world what great things this small country can create.

WHAT IS FSC?
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, non-profit organization that has been working to preserve forests worldwide since 1993. It sets strict standards to ensure that wood-based materials (such as cardboard) come from sustainably managed forests, recycled sources, and controlled materials (without illegal or untraceable impacts).
Today, more than 150 million hectares of forests are FSC certified worldwide.
Our boxes are FSC MIX certified. We have opted for packaging that is FSC MIX 70% certified.
