The Paper Mill Store .com Granted FSC Certification

Sun Prairie, Wis. – The Paper Mill Store .com (TPMS) is proud to announce it recently became a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody (CoC) certificate holder. TPMS is the only online multi-mill paper supplier to achieve such status and will soon offer the largest selection of FSC-certified paper and envelopes available online, including hundreds of premium mill-branded items.

The FSC CoC certification authorizes The Paper Mill Store to handle FSC-certified paper and envelopes, meaning that when it sells a customer FSC-certified paper or envelopes, the customer can be certain the claim is credible and that the fiber used to manufacture the products came from well-managed forests, where people, wildlife and the environment benefit from the forestry practices. By buying products with the FSC label, graphics professionals support the growth of responsible forest management worldwide.

FSC certification is globally recognized as being the most credible and strongest system for ensuring well-managed forests. TPMS was certified by the Rainforest Alliance SmartWood program as meeting the FSC CoC requirements. The Rainforest Alliance is an international nonprofit conservation organization that certifies forestry and agricultural operations, ensuring that they meet rigorous standards for the conservation of natural resources and the rights and welfare of workers and local communities.

“We believe that all of us have an obligation to contribute to the health of our planet and the welfare of its people,” said Brian Cowie, CEO. “We are proud to deliver our customers paper and envelope products that meet the high standards of the FSC.”
