Newark Paperboard Mills Granted FSC Chain of Custody Certification

Newark Recycled Paperboard Solutions, Cranford, N.J., USA, reports that SCS Global Services, an independent auditor, has completed its audit on all six Newark Paperboard mills. The mills are now FSC^® (Forest Stewardship Council) chain-of-custody certified under FSC multi-site certificate FSC C002872.

"This is a significant enhancement for Newark," said Raymond M. Vargo Jr., VP of Sales, Newark Paperboard Mills. "The FSC is the gold standard of forest management and we are proud of this achievement. It is also a valuable resource for our vendors and customers," he added.

The six Newark FSC certified mills are Mobile Paperboard, Newark America, Ohio Paperboard, Newark Pacific Paperboard, California Paperboard, and Wisconsin Paperboard.

"We have worked hard to obtain FSC Chain-of-Custody Certification," said Marc Hingsbergen, Newark sustainability manager. "Even a self-sustaining recycled paperboard company like Newark is always searching for additional ways to lower the carbon footprint within our mills through continuous improvement practices."
