Cascades Obtains Recycling Certification

Company believes French mill is the first in Europe to receive certificate for deinked pulp.

Cascades Inc. announces that its Greenfield division in Chateau-Thierry (France) has obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council for its recycled pulp. Cascades now has four units to claim FSC certified products.

 

The company says that its Chateau-Thierry operation is the first market deinked pulp producer to claim the FSC certification in Europe.

 

Opened in 1997, it is the first Cascades European plant, and its ninth worldwide, to manufacture market pulp from wastepaper stock. Its deinked pulp production is dried and sold to producers of fine papers, packaging products, and tissue papers, located in Europe and overseas.
