Environmental Paper Performance Assessment

What analysis are leading companies doing? And why?

Companies across the supply chain are evaluating the environmental performance of paper. Historically, most producers and buyers focused on forestry practices and recycled content but now leading companies—producers and buyers alike—are considering the resources used in paper manufacturing and the resulting impact on climate, air and water.
