A Paper Purchasing Policy is implemented by Canada’s largest printer located in Montreal.This policy allows consumers to select environmentally friendly papers with maximum post consumer and de-inked recycled fiber.
To make paper virgin wood fibre is needed. Transcontinental will give preference to fiber from sustainable forests when virgin wood fiber is necessary.
Jean Denault; Transcontinental’s corporate vice president of procurement and technology said that the Paper Purchasing Policy was developed with both sustainable development and the clients from the company in mind. In many cases, Transcontinental clients are pleased to learn they are already using paper which promotes sustainable development and their particular environmental objectives; in other cases, they realize it would be simple to make that change.
From now on Transcontinental(who has 2,3 billion euro in revenues in 2006) will avoid fiber from ‘high conservation value forests’. Transcontinental is also North America’s largest printer.
The company also has in environmental policies to maximize operations efficiencies, reduce waste and encourage its supply chain to align practices to complement these policies.
