This certification recognizes that Burrows, a world leader in light weight paper and packaging, procures all wood pulp for papermaking from responsible, legal and traceable sources, as the company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. Burrows also recently received Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certification and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), further demonstrating Burrows’ dedication to sustainable forestry. Mike Lengvarsky, President and COO, said certification reflects Burrows’ commitment to eco-friendly business practices while Making Paper Perform™. “We have a deep sense of responsibility to our customers and the environment,” Lengvarsky said. “We understand that customers have high standards for their paper and packaging needs and appreciate that our company’s processes have a meaningful and positive impact while fulfilling those needs. It is our duty to ensure that the superior quality and integrity of our products begins with the very pulp it is made from.” Burrows received the certifications for its paper mills in Mississippi and New York following a rigorous, several-months-long process, including a three-day audit by Bureau Veritas, an independent and accredited certifier. Burrows Paper Corporation is a worldwide supplier of paper and packaging solutions. The company incorporates nearly 100 years of papermaking experience into its food packaging line of products and specializes in innovative applications of light weight paper.
