Domtar’s Commitment to Certification

Domtar is a separate company from APP with its own management structure and governance. Domtar and APP will remain distinct entities, with no operational overlap and independent governance structures.

The companies under the Domtar brand have long been among the most supportive champions of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Domtar actively engages with FSC policies, procedures, and practices, consistently seeking opportunities to engage suppliers to source more FSC-certified fiber.

Domtar is continuing that engagement directly with FSC International to analyze and understand the implications of the Policy for Association and the Remedy Framework in light of this development. Domtar’s historical commitment to sustainable forest management and responsible fiber sourcing – as previously affirmed by the FSC – and its distinct separation in governance from APP should be considered in regards to its certification. The company remains committed to maintaining and continuously improving the sustainability of its operations while fostering strong collaboration with Indigenous partners and local communities.

Further, Domtar’s commitment to internationally recognized third-party certification remain as strong as ever. Jackson Wijaya is a strong advocate and leader in certification and unequivocally supports Domtar’s commitment to operating in a way that ensures 100% of Domtar’s managed forests are certified to internationally-recognized standards, that 100% of Domtar’s facilities are certified to internationally-recognized chain of custody standards, and that 100% of Domtar’s fiber is sourced according to at least one of the most- recognized global standards.

Smurfit Kappa’s UK Recycling operation invests in depot network

The work has included development of a new depot in Snodland, the installation of new balers at its Snodland, Blackburn and Glasgow depots and an additional weighbridge in Nottingham to ease traffic flow into and out of the depot there. The new Snodland depot in Kent is processing locally-sourced paper and cardboard for recycling at the Group’s new Smurfit Kappa Townsend Hook mill on the same site, which operates a state-of-the-art 5m lightweight paper machine producing approximately 250,000 tonnes of quality containerboard material per year. The depot will also supply recycled paper grades not used at Townsend Hook to other mills. Smurfit Kappa Recycling has constructed the new depot on part of the mill site freed up by its redevelopment, installing a new Bollegraaf HBC 120 baler in a new facility designed to operate efficiently and safely.

How Can Businesses Help Consumers Unravel the Myths Surrounding Recycling Practices

Despite being a common practice for decades, misconceptions about recycling – such as the belief that it mostly ends up in landfills, doesn’t make a difference, uses more energy than it saves, and is economically unviable – persist among consumers. To combat these myths, businesses can focus on education and clarity. They can simplify recycling processes by providing clear instructions, like those offered by the How2Recycle label, and using social media to raise awareness. Collaborations, like those between McKinsey and NielsenIQ, show that environmental claims on packaging can drive consumer interest. Sustana is a proud pioneer and leader in sustainability and circularity. We’re always looking to share our sustainable vision with our customers. We think the most effective time to educate and guide consumers on the best ways to recycle our sustainable fiber-based and paper products is all the time – not just when they’re about to discard a product and trying to remember how to recycle it.

Georgia-Pacific Accepts ENERGY STAR Challenge To Cut Energy Use

It's no secret manufacturing facilities use a lot of energy to make the cars, phones or, in Georgia-Pacific's case, paper towels that we use every day. But what if there was a way to encourage these facilities to reduce their energy consumption? It's a question Betsy Dutrow, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR® industrial team leader, and her team asked. Their answer? The ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry. The ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry is a voluntary pledge manufacturing facilities make to reduce energy consumption by 10 percent in five years or less. It's open to manufacturing facilities across the world, and there are no penalties for mills that don't reach that number. Dutrow says, "It's an aspirational goal that, while it may sound difficult, is one we believe most facilities who take the challenge will end up achieving. We have seen energy intensive sites achieve a 10 percent reduction when they initially thought they would not. Additionally, we have seen plants in other industries reduce their energy consumption by as much as 30 and 40 percent." click Read More below for additional detail
