Paper Merchant Wins Forestry
Accreditations

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) accreditation have been awarded to Independent Paper, a UK independent paper merchant.

The company has now achieved dual accreditation to both certification systems, becoming one of the few independent paper merchants in the UK to have achieved this, it claimed Independent Paper was audited for both environmental certification systems earlier this month and has also been awarded Chain of Custody (CoC) for both schemes

The fact that Independent Paper has achieved accreditation to both certification systems means that the company's customers can be assured that any paper bearing either certification mark has been sourced from sustainable and well-managed forests, added the company.

Paul Cassidy, Independent Paper's product manager, said: ""We feel that to have achieved accreditation to both schemes is an extremely important factor in today's evolving market place.

It is our responsibility to link the chain of certified grades from the manufacturers to the printers and build awareness of the PEFC and FSC standards for paper production." He added: "A lot of our target market of larger colour printers now have these certifications, so it is important that are customers, both present and future, know that we have attained these accreditations.".
