Thoro Packaging Joins Two Sides

Thoro Packaging has joined Two Sides North America, the non-profit organization that promotes and encourages the responsible production, use and sustainability of print and paper.

“It’s great to have more interest in Two Sides from the packaging community. Thoro Packaging has a 46 year history in this business and they have a strong commitment to sustainability which is exemplified by their use of 100% wind power in manufacturing, annual goals to reduce their carbon footprint, and use of low VOC vegetable-based ink.  We look forward to working with Thoro to help promote the social and environmental benefits of paper-based packaging,” stated Two Sides North America President Phil Riebel.

“Thoro Packaging is about more than just folding cartons. It would be careless for us to simply abide by our industry’s standards and regulations. More important to Thoro is the implementation of our own standards that truly represent what it means to be a green, eco-friendly manufacturer. We are excited to partner with Two Sides and join their mission to promote the responsible production and use of print and paperboard packaging, and dispel environmental misconceptions about this important industry.” Dianne Vanover, Internal Marketing Coordinator, Thoro Packaging.

Call for proposals: Consultancy on PEFC position in the carbon arena

We have launched a call for proposals for consultants to conduct research on PEFC positioning on the carbon arena. Recognising the importance of forests and PEFC certification in climate change mitigation, especially regarding greenhouse gas emission removal and avoidance, several PEFC national members have been working on the carbon initiatives with their own approaches. PEFC Carbon Task Force was established in August 2023 with the mandate to identify the PEFC carbon approaches that could be applied across the PEFC alliance. The PEFC carbon approaches should enable PEFC certificate holders to demonstrate the positive impact of PEFC certification in climate change mitigation and adaption. PEFC is looking for consultant(s) to conduct research on specific topics ensuring that the needed information is available, to support the Task Force in achieving its mandate.
