SCA Tissue North America, Philadelphia, Pa., USA, reports that its U.S. paper mill and converting operations in Neenah and Menasha, Wis., and in Barton, Ala., have achieved ISO 14001:2004 certification. Certification by the voluntary International Standards Organization (ISO) means the company's operations in both Alabama and Wisconsin have an approved Environmental Management System (EMS) in place that allows them to identify and control environmental impact, continuously improve environmental performance, implement a systematic approach in achieving environmental objectives, and demonstrate that these objectives have been met.
SCA Tissue notes that it is the only one of three major North American tissuemakers to have a mill and converting operation in the U.S. with ISO 14001 certification. The company also is working toward ISO certification at its mills and converting operations in South Glens Falls and Greenwich, N.Y., and in Flagstaff and Bellemont, Ariz.
