Nov 08, 2005. /Lesprom Network/. Cascades Inc. announces that its Greenfield division in Chateau-Thierry (France) has obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for its recycled pulp. Cascades now has four units to claim FSC certified products. Cascades believes that the Chateau-Thierry operation is the first market DIP (deinked pulp) producer to claim the FSC certification in Europe. Furthermore, Greenfield's customers will not only be able to make a 100 % FSC A4 copy paper, but they will also be able to produce a quality similar to the best A4s made of virgin pulp. Opened in 1997, it is the first Cascades European plant, and its ninth worldwide, to manufacture market pulp from wastepaper stock. Its deinked pulp production is dried and sold to producers of fine papers, packaging products, and tissue papers, located in Europe and overseas. Founded in 1964, Cascades produces, transforms and markets packaging products, tissue paper and fine papers, composed mainly of recycled fibers. Cascades employs nearly 15 600 men and women who work in some 140 modern and flexible production units located in North America, in Europe and in Asia. Cascades' management philosophy, its more than 40 years of experience in recycling, its continued efforts in research and development are strengths which enable the company to create new products for its clients and thus offer superior performance to its shareholders.
