Matt de Jongh, Responsible Wood [Part 2 of 2]

Beyond the Label – Certification, Credibility & the Future of Fibre – Part Two of our Responsible Wood Series is here.
It’s about co-creation — creating a unified, evidence-based dialogue that empowers our industry to lead with confidence, consistency, and collective intelligence.
Matt de Jongh, Responsible Wood [Part 1 of 2]

Sustainable packaging starts long before the print press — it begins in the forest.
Discover how Responsible Wood and PEFC are shaping the future of sustainable fibre.
In the first of a two-part Ecoporium by Ball & Doggett series, Matt de Jongh, Sustainability Manager at Responsible Wood, joins Zaidee Jackson to break down the essentials of forest certification.
As a forester, Matt has seen first hand how sustainable forest management safeguards biodiversity, supports regional economies, and ensures that fibre harvested today sustains future generations.
Together, we explore:
The difference between virgin and recycled fibre — and why both have a place in circular design.
How PEFC & Responsible Wood certification builds traceability and trust from forest to finished packaging.
Why credible certification is key to deforestation-free claims and brand credibility.
Save Food Packaging Design Shines Bright

When packaging is designed with intention, it becomes more than a container. It becomes a solution , extending shelf life, preventing waste, and shaping a more sustainable future.
Anhely Millán, Founder and Sustainabilty Specialist, Sustainability for Kids

What if we could make sustainability second nature for kids—just like reading or riding a bike?
That’s exactly what Sustainability for Kids, founded in March 2022, is working to achieve.
The mission: to educate younger generations on how to live more sustainably—not just through words, but by transforming the very environments they spend most of their day in: schools, before- and after-care, and vacation programs.
Building Your Brand Beyond The Bottle

In a highly competitive spirits market, your brand needs to stand out, and it can’t rely solely on quality product. As distillers, a brand’s narrative is shaped not just by the liquid in the bottle, but by every touch point your customers experience—especially the packaging.
