Appleton Coated Receives SFI® Certification

01/31/2008

Appleton Coated has secured The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) Certification for Utopia products. The SFI Standard sets forth measurable performance goals to maintain forests as a renewable resource and manage them in a way that protects wildlife, vegetation, soil, and water quality.

SFI-certified Utopia was made available to support those customers who require SFI certification to maintain SFI chain-of-custody for their projects. Offering this alternative fiber certification supports our goal of being the primary coated resource for environmental projects.

SFI-certified Utopia making orders are available as:

  • Utopia One X Sheets & Web
  • Utopia One Sheets & Web
  • Utopia Two Sheets
      • Other Utopia products are available as SFI-certified with a small upcharge.

    SFI-certified orders require meeting the standard making requirements for the Utopia product requested which could be as little as 5,000 lbs.

    Utopia Green Options Available With SFI Orders

    You can purchase green power and extra recycled content with your SFI-certified product orders. The standard guidelines for these options can be found in our current Stock Guide, our Green Means Go brochure, or by visiting www.utopiapaper.com.

    FSC: Our Primary Forest Certification

    Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification, the independent assurance for responsible forest management, continues to be the primary forest certification for our stock and making products (those included in our FSC product group category (Cert. no. SW-COC-001745)).

    Environmentally-friendly products and programs are critical to meeting the needs of our customers. If you would like more information on Utopia Green options, email us at utopiagreen@appletoncoated.com, visit us on the web at www.utopiapaper.com. or call us at 888-488-6742.
