Green-e renewable wind energy

CTI Paper USA offsets 100% of its electricity use with wind power, a renewable energy source certified by Green-e. With this purchase of “green power,” we are recognized as a Partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Green Power Partnership and Green Power Leadership Club.

Here's how our use of renewable energy helps.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification

CTI Paper USA is an FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) certificate holder, certified by the Rainforest Alliance Smartwood program as meeting the FSC CoC requirements.

The FSC logo identifies products which contain wood fiber from well-managed forests where people, wildlife and the environment benefit from the forestry practices.

Through its rigorous forest certification standards and Chain of Custody (CoC) auditing procedures, FSC tracks paper from the forest to your final project. You can rest assured that paper marked with the FSC logo comes from legal and well-managed forests around the world.

Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certification

CTI Paper USA is an SFI Chain of Custody (CoC) certificate holder.

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program is based on the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist. SFI program participants practice sustainable forestry on all the lands they manage. They also influence millions of additional acres through the training of loggers and foresters in best management practices and landowner outreach programs. Being the only solely North American standard for forest certification, SFI is an increasingly important certification.
