Torraspapel papers now all FSC and PEFC certified

All of paper manufacturer Torraspapel's pulp used for manufacturing papers is now FSC and PEFC certified.

The company, which is part of the Lecta Group, said all of its operation and product lines are now Chain-of-Custody certified.

It said it has "significantly increased the purchase of pulp" sourced from certified forest plantations, reaching 86% in 2009.

The remaining 14% comes from controlled sources that are accepted by the certifications.

A spokesman for the company said that the business had surpassed the objective set out in its 2008 Environmental Report to have 70% of its pulp certified by 2010.
