SMART Papers has become the first North American papermaker to produce FSC-certified premium cast-coated papers. Kromekote, a legendary triple cast-coated paper, is now FSC-certified in Kromekote Recycled. The move underscores the mill’s longstanding commitment to sustainability in its premium branded papers and manufacturing operations. Recently the company broke ground on a $30 million energy production facility to be powered by 100% cellulosic biomass fuel, primarily yard waste. By late 2009, all products will be fully carbon neutral and produced fossil fuel free. “We’re always striving to exceed customer expectations when it comes to environmental stewardship,” said Doug Gruber, Vice President, Sales and Marketing.
