Tullis Russell, the independent Scottish papermaker, has added another grade to its FSC accredited paper portfolio.

Cypher, which is exclusively supplied in the UK through the Premier Paper Group, now has full FSC chain of custody certification.

Cypher is available in a bright smooth finish in weights from 100gsm to 400gsm, in sizes A4, A3, SRA2, SRA3 and SRA1.

According to Tullis Russell, the accreditation of Cypher is testament to the fact that top quality, multi-functional papers and boards can be achieved from renewable resources, thus championing environmental awareness within the paper and board industry.

Shona Birrell, product manager for uncoated papers at Tullis Russell, said: "Cypher's FSC accreditation reflects our continued commitment to producing paper and board from renewable sources.

We are a prime example of a company that is growing and responding to market demands, whilst maintaining an environmentally conscious approach." Premier Paper's, head of marketing, Abi Doyle, added: "This is a very positive move by Tullis Russell and as the demand for certified products grows, we are able to continue to offer our customers the very best range of products in the FSC category.

We are delighted to be able to include Cypher to our FSC certified range of products.

With an extensive range of sizes and weights and the offer of matching envelopes, it is truly the total product." 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 administered in a manner beneficial to the environment and to society, as well as being economically viable.

The FSC system tracks the wood fibre through the supply chain, assuring users that they are not contributing to the destruction of the environment.

To achieve certification Tullis Russell is independently audited by BM TRADA to ensure the highest standards are being maintained, added the company.
