MMCF: production volume by feedstock 2022

In 2022, 4.58 million metric tons of manmade cellulosic fibers (MMCFs) were produced using feedstock certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). This implies that the feedstock used in producing these fibers was sustainably sourced from well-managed forests.

Supplementary notes

*FSC/PEFC: The production volume of Manmade Cellulosic Fibers (MMCFs) that were made using feedstock certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These certifications ensure that the materials used in making these fibers come from responsibly managed forests.
**Conventional/unknown: The production volume of MMCFs that were made using regular or unknown materials. In this case, the source of the materials used in making these fibers is either not mentioned or may not meet sustainable sourcing standards.
***Recycled (total): The production volume of MMCFs that were made using recycled materials.
