Demonstrating its continued commitment to environmental responsibility, RockTenn announces that it has received triple chain-of-custody (CoC) certification for its Solvay (Syracuse, NY) and St. Paul (St. Paul, MN) containerboard mills. These facilities, together producing over 970 thousand tons on an annual basis, are now independently certified to standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), representing the leading global forestry certification bodies. These organizations provide standards for third-party validation of each of the mills documented processes and chain-of-custody monitoring. Additionally, both mills are certified to SFI's fiber sourcing procurement requirements.
"Strategically, we are proud to provide customers with the highest quality containerboard and corrugated packaging products produced with the most stringent fiber certification possible, further demonstrating our care and respect for the environment," said Jim Porter, executive vice president, RockTenn.
