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.

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.
