Mondi Release Liner Austria becomes FSC certified

Mondi Release Liner Austria, based in Hilm, has become the first plant in Mondi’s release liner segment to be awarded FSC certification.

The plant currently holds FSC certification for its bleached kraft paper – commonly used for envelopes, labels and graphic arts. Certified according to the FSC ‘Chain of Custody’ system, complete traceability of FSC certified paper is ensured throughout the supply chain. The certification can be extended to encompass other paper grades at customer request.

Franz Pehn, managing director, Mondi Release Liner Austria said, ‘Our FSC certificate enables us to play an integral part in the sustainable supply chain within the converting and release liner industry. Our customers can be certain that our raw materials are sourced in a sustainable way that conserves nature and protects our forests. We are thus supporting our customers’ own GO GREEN initiatives and we provide them with another distinctive feature.’

According to Mondi, the FSC certification underscores its commitment to sustainable development as an integral part of the business strategy. More of the company’s plants are expected to be FSC-certified in the near future.
