Caraustar URB Mills Receive FSC, SFI Certification

Caraustar Industries, Atlanta, Ga., USA, one of North America's largest producers of uncoated recycled boxboard (URB), reports that it achieved certification in the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Standard for the following mills: Austell Boxboard Mill No. 2 (Austell, Ga.), Carotell Paperboard (Taylors, S.C.), Cincinnati Paperboard (Cincinnati, Ohio), and Tacoma Paperboard (Tacoma, Wash.). Other Caraustar mills receiving certification earlier include Austell Boxboard Mill No. 1 and Sweetwater Paperboard.

The six certified Caraustar URB mills all produce a 100% recycled paperboard product that is used in various applications, including folding cartons, tubes and cores, gypsum facing papers, and specialty paperboard products. These mills, and now all Caraustar URB mills, have also received certification to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Chain of Custody Standard.
