Arctic Paper Munkedals receives EU Ecolabel certification

Sep 12, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Arctic Paper Munkedals has certified its entire product range in accordance with EU Ecolabel, the official environmental label for the European Union, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The highly rated design and book grades in the Munken range have been produced for a long time using environmentally labelled raw materials from forests where the forest management has been certified according to the international standards FSC™ (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).

Several of the mill's products have for many years also been approved according to Svanen (Nordic Ecolabel), resulting in what is known as inspected paper. Svanen is a well-established brand in the Nordic region and customers have for a long time been able to choose Munken safe in the knowledge that the paper has been produced sustainably.

Arctic Paper Munkedals has now gone a step further and environmentally certified its entire product range according to EU Ecolabel, the official EU standard.

Anders Fransson, Technical and Environmental Coordinator for the Arctic Paper Group, said: "We chose EU Ecolabel as we work on an international market with Europe as our primary market area. EU Ecolabel covers all aspects of a product's life cycle and it is this level of assurance that we are seeking to communicate to our customers."
