International Paper Attains FSC Accreditation for its PRO-DESIGN Paper Range

摘要

I nternational Paper, one of the world's largest paper and packaging company, has announced that its PRO-DESIGN range, International Paper's flagship colour laser paper from its Saillat Mill, has attained Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accreditation across the entire range. The announcement provides a further environmental credential and endorsement of the product's high sustainability standards and follows the introduction of an FSC certified 35ogsm heavy weight paperto its PRO-DESIGN range in August last year. The FSC accreditation covers the PRO-DESIGN grade's full range of A_4, A_3, SRA_3 & Xeikon Reels paper grades. The PRO-DESIGN range already carries the EU-Ecolabel which certifies its high environmental performance. PRO-DESIGN is produced at International Paper's Saillat mill in France, which is one of the world's best performing sites in terms of CO_2 emissions. Since 1990, Saillat has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 78 per cent. The Saillat mill uses thinning from certified forests or those that are in the process of becoming certified, with its main forestry supplies located within just 150km of the mill, reducing any transport related environmental impacts such as CO_2 emissions.
