Two Sides offers competition winners forestry visit

Two Sides is offering five competition winners the opportunity to visit the forestry and papermaking facilities of one of Europe's leading paper producers. The competition is part of the Two Sides awareness campaign recently launched across the UK to promote the sustainability of print and paper.

‘The prize is a fantastic opportunity to spend time in some of Europe's forests, seeing how trees are harvested and then replanted, and then follow the pulping process through to final paper production,’ said Two Sides spokesman Martyn Eustace. ‘Seeing paper being made, and realizing how trees are a natural and renewable resource is always a trip that people remember. There are those that believe that our forests are diminishing but in Europe, where more than 90 percent of our paper comes from, forests have grown by 30 percent since 1950 and are increasing by 1.5 million football pitches every year.’

Hosting the visit for five winners are Stora Enso, UPM Kymmene, Mondi Uncoated Fine Papers, grupo Portucel Soporcel and Sappi.

The competition can be entered at www.twosides.info.
