The Chain of Custody (CC) of the Zaragoza paper mill of Torraspapel, part of the Lecta Group, has been certified by AENOR, the independent Spanish standards organisation.
The PEFC Forest Certification has been established as a system of voluntary promotion and certification of sustainable forest management. It consists of two fundamental elements: Sustainable Forest Management Certification, which guarantees the survival of the forest for future generations, and the Chain of Custody Certification, guaranteeing a system to verify the flow of wood through the production process. |
The Chain of Custody Certification is the necessary complement to the Sustainable Forest Management Certification, since it is the mechanism that makes it possible to verify, via traceability, that the wood used in the production of pulp comes from forests managed according to sustainability criteria.
Moreover, obtaining the Chain of Custody Certification increases internal process efficiency, improves the market appeal of our papers and demonstrates Torraspapel's sense of responsibility and commitment towards the environment and sustainable development. The Zaragoza mill, which has a production capacity of 380,000 tons of pulp, base paper and coated paper, also holds the ISO 9.001 quality certificate and ISO 14.001 environmental management certificate.
Torraspapel is complying with the environmental commitments detailed in its Environment Report of 2004, and following this certification, the remaining coated paper mills are expected to receive this certification in the coming months.
