Feb 26, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. The demand for certified paper from sustainable forestry continues to grow rapidly. This enabled Lang Papier to sell approx. 13,000 tonnes last year, doubling sales of paper with a PEFC certificate (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), company said in a press release received by Lesprom Network. “We can offer twice as much sustainability: the wood for our certified papers is renewable through permanent reforestation, and once in circulation the paper is recycled,” says Martin Heinrich, Representative for Management Systems at Lang Papier. “We also obtain our wood largely from forests in the vicinity of our paper mill, with 75% of them certified according to PEFC, providing further ecological benefits." Lang Papier, part of the Myllykoski Group, has been pioneering recovered paper as a raw material for five decades, and continues to expand its range of environmentally friendly products. Like the entire Myllykoski Group, Lang Papier only uses the two uniquely established and acclaimed certification systems PEFC and FSC. 7.3 million hectares of German forest, roughly two-thirds of the total, is now PEFC-certified.
