Appleton Coated CEO Doug Osterberg noted that "this pricing move allows brand owners and creatives to specify coated paper that promotes their corporate sustainability measures even as it improves their bottom line costs on printed marketing materials. The new parts are adding efficiency and choice to the merchant and printer sides of the supply chain."
U2:XG is the trademarked name for Appleton Coated’s extra green, coated offering in the No.2 coated paper arena. It offers 30% PCRF, is FSC® certified (FSC® C007796), and is produced with Green Power™. This means 100% of the electricity used to manufacture all U2:XG products is matched with renewable energy credits (RECS) from Green-e® certified energy sources—primarily wind.
Offering gloss, dull, and matte finishes, as well as one of the few Ivory coated papers still produced in the U.S., the U2:XG product lineup is one of the broadest in the high PCRF No.2 category. Introduced in May 2007, U2:XG is being used by some of the leading brands in North America.
The first coated paper mill in North America to be FSC certified, Appleton Coated was just named to the World Wildlife Foundation’s (WWF) Environmental Paper Company Index (EPCI) for environmental transparency, one of twenty five paper companies worldwide to be so honored. Appleton Coated maintains ISO14001 certification and is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Green Power Partner. In addition, it is one of six Green Tier II companies recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) as having exceptional environmental management systems in place.
