Sappi Europe to increase prices on Woodfree grades by 6-8% from January 1st 2018

With the increasing cost of school supplies, the start of a new school year can be a stressful — and expensive — time for families and teachers alike. With rising prices affecting every household, school supply donations can help bridge the gap and ensure that every student and teacher has what they need for academic success. The average U.S. household will spend around $875 on school supplies during the 2024 back-to-school season, and more than 90 percent of teachers spend their own income on supplies for their classrooms. This year, to assist students and educators in their communities, employees at Domtar’s North American locations engaged in local school supply drives and fundraising events. We also continued our partnerships with customers like ODP Corporation and organizations like Classroom Central to give back to our communities.
