Five Star launches FSC-certified eco-friendly packaging

They emerged as the first Thai franchise brand to use FSC-certified food packaging. 

Fast-food chicken franchise Five Star has launched their eco-friendly packaging certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standard. 
 
The company has adopted biodegradable packaging and recently become the first Thai franchise brand to use FSC-certified food packaging, replacing plastic bucket lids with FSC-certified paper alternatives.

"Our eco-friendly packaging strategy addresses growing consumer demand for brands that offer quality products at reasonable prices while supporting ecosystem balance and climate change mitigation,” said Sunthorn Jaksukan, President of CPF Restaurant and Food Chain Co., Ltd.

Additionally, Five Star has also joined the "No Refry" campaign, a collaboration between Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited (BSGF) and Thailand's Department of Health. This initiative encourages food businesses to avoid reusing cooking oil and instead sell it for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
 
The STAR Coffee brand, under Five Star's umbrella, has also adopted 100% biodegradable, environmentally friendly cups.
 
The FSC certification is an international standard for sustainable forest resource management, ensuring that packaging materials come from managed forests, benefiting the environment, economy, and society without encroaching on forest areas. These materials are recyclable and certified food-grade safe and free from harmful residues.
