Howard Smith Paper Group's marketing and purchasing director, Dave Cooling, said: "We are delighted that Sovereign is now produced with FSC mixed sources.
That further demonstrates our environmental commitment and, more importantly, the commitment to our customers to provide a wide ranging choice of environmental grades to suit their needs." Sovereign has joined Howard Smith's Regency grade for environmental friendliness.
