SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE — (Marketwire) — 08/16/11 — Twin Rivers Paper Company supports its commitment to sustainability by launching Twin Rivers® Offset 100, a printing paper containing 100% post-consumer fiber. Additionally, the company released its new Environmental Philosophy & Practices Overview brochure which highlights key components of its environmental platform.
Responding to market demand for higher levels of post-consumer fiber, Twin Rivers Offset 100 fills a void in the market for environmentally friendly printing papers with high recycled content. Available in a basis weight range of 35-50 lb. (25 x 38), Twin Rivers Offset 100 is a versatile paper used in multi-purpose printing applications including manuals, tradebooks, direct mail, financial documents and government printing projects.
“We are excited about producing a category-leading environmental paper. With curb-side mixed source collection, debris and contamination are a challenge for papermakers. Our operations team worked hard to offer customers a clean, printable product with 100% post-consumer fiber,” said Jim Gehrman, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “In developing Twin Rivers Offset 100, we incorporated our customers- requirements for high levels of post-consumer fiber with their functional needs for a reliable, flexible offset paper to be used in a range of commercial printing and publishing applications.”
In combination with the product launch, Twin Rivers has released an Environmental Philosophy and Practices Overview. In a simple, succinct format, the new brochure communicates the company-s approach to sustainability in the areas of infrastructure, energy reduction and product stewardship. Highlights include:
“Sustainability drives our operations and processes,” added Dave Deger, Director of Marketing and Business Development. “Producing a paper containing a 100% post-consumer fiber supports our customers- exacting ecological requirements while helping to divert waste paper from landfills. Our work in reducing energy consumption, maintaining rigorous fiber certification standards and lowering our greenhouse emissions combined with the launch of Twin Rivers Offset 100 serve as great examples of how our actions support our commitment to environmental sustainability.”
