All of the merchant's eight divisions have been certified, a process that took six months from start to finish.
"With each of our divisions registered, it means we are poised to supply both FSC and PEFC stocks, wherever they are wanted in the country," said purchasing director Chris Grice (pictured).
Grice said PaperCo had opted for dual certification because although FSC certified grades are emerging many were already PEFC certified.
PaperCo's divisions in the UK comprise Dixon & Roe, Donald Murray Paper, Europoint Display, Mason's Paper, North West Paper, Reel Paper, Rothera & Brereton and Southern Paper.
Antalis became the first UK merchant to be accredited under both schemes in January this year.
