SCA listed in WWF’s paper benchmarking tool

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has recently launched the global benchmarking tool Check Your Paper for pulp and paper products at the PaperWorld trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany. The tool is an online database that helps buyers to find products with the lowest environmental impact. SCA is one of the first companies to be represented in the tool.

“We believe this new database will help paper buyers choose the most environmentally friendly papers on the market. WWF invites all paper buyers to check the tool before purchasing and encourage other paper-makers to join Check Your Paper,” says Rodney Taylor, Forest Director, WWF International, in a press release by WWF.

Check Your Paper includes today about 100 paper products with good or excellent environmental score listed in the coated and uncoated categories, such as copy papers and printing and writing papers.

“Over the years SCA has been deeply involved in the development of publication papers with high environmental performance – TCF (chlorine free) bleaching, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, good resource utilization, small carbon footprint,” says Björn Lyngfelt, Vice President Communications SCA Forest Products, in WWF’s press release.

“It is very positive that paper customers now get access to an easy-to-use tool to guide them in their choice of an environmental-friendly paper,” continues Björn.
