Tullis Russell achieves FSC certification
The certification allows Tullis Russell to label products which have been manufactured using FSC pulps, and gives customers the assurance that these products have been produced from material originating from responsibly managed FSC certified forests.
FSC is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. To gain FSC certification, a forest must be managed in a manner which is beneficial to the environment and the society as well as economically viable. The FSC system also tracks the wood fibre though the supply chain, from forest to end user, ensuring end users that they are not contributing to the destruction of the environment.
To achieve the certification, Tullis Russell was independently audited by BM TRADA Certification Ltd which will continue to carry out annual audits to ensure that the highest standards are maintained.
Alasdair McGregor, Product Certification Manager of BM TRADA, said: "Only a small number of paper manufacturers have achieved FSC certification so far. The certification demonstrates that Tullis Russell is serious about raising environmental awareness within the paper industry. It is vital we continue to receive industry buy-in and Tullis Russell is helping to set the pace. “
Malcolm Sinclair, Marketing Director at Tullis Russell said: “The FSC certificate reflects Tullis Russell’s ongoing commitment to producing paper and board from renewable resources. There is a growing demand among printers and designers for FSC paper and we can now assure them that we are responding to that demand. Details of the products that will benefit from the chain of custody accreditation will be announced in the near future.”
