The verification that UPM Plywood’s products have not caused deforestation or forest degradation and that the commodities used in UPM Plywood’s products have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation will be based on a due diligence process. UPM Plywood is a so-called downstream operator manufacturing its products from other products that have already undergone due diligence in accordance with EUDR. Therefore, UPM Plywood’s due diligence process consists of referring to due diligence statements submitted previously in the supply chain and verifying that its suppliers have adequate due diligence systems in place. Prior to placing its products on the market, UPM Plywood will submit a DDS to the EU Information System Traces. The EU information system will produce an associated reference number that UPM Plywood will share with its customers. The chart below describes the basics of EUDR implementation in UPM Plywood. The supplier of wood or other relevant commodities provides the first DDS with geolocation information to Traces and gets associated reference numbers (REF) from the system.

Drytac, the leading international manufacturer of self-adhesive materials for the large-format print and signage markets, is delighted to announce the North American launch of its new Drytac Polar Blockout UV opaque printable block out film. Joining the Drytac Zero range of products, Polar Blockout UV is a 2.0 mil (50μ) highly opaque layered white PET film with a matte finish. It is coated with a white pressure-sensitive, permanent aqueous acrylic adhesive which is protected by a 50# siliconized PE coated release paper. It is the ideal solution for two-sided window graphics and other block out layer requirements. The film’s high opacity prevents graphics from showing through on the other side when being used as a cover up graphic, offering a highly effective solution to customers seeking to produce bold and impactful applications.
