Cascades Fine Papers Group's paper mill in Saint-Jérôme announced that is receiving the Forest Stewardship Council certification FSC Recycled. This certification authenticates that the product has a 100 percent post-consumer content level.
Denis Jean, president and CEO for Cascades’ Fine Papers Group, said the mill is the first and only Canadian fine paper manufacturer to be awarded the FSC Recycled Certification. It is the result of outstanding teamwork, he added, between the management team of the mill in Saint-Jérôme and the team at the de-inking mill in Breakeyville, whose pulp is also certified FSC Recycled."
FSC Recycled certified products are New Life DP100, Rolland Enviro100, Rolland Enviro Edition100 and Rolland Inspiration Ecofibre. They are available on making orders under certain conditions.
Coveting this certification is a desire to meet market needs and to complete Cascades' already impressive offer of ecological fine papers. Cascades has undertaken long ago to become the leader in the ecological production of fine papers, both in manufacturing processes and in the choice of raw materials. This environmental awareness is a valuable contribution to the protection of forest, air, water and soil. Cascades fine papers product offer includes other products with various levels of post-consumer content up to 100 percent. Furthermore, many papers produced by Cascades are also certified EcoLogo (ECP-77) from Environment Canada's Environmental Choice Programme and PCF from the Chlorine Free Product Association.
