Torraspapel supports World Environment Day

Spanish material manufacturer Torraspapel has announced its support for World Environment Day, a global event taking place on June 5 that seeks to promote positive environmental action. As 2011 was declared the International Year of Forests, the theme ‘Forests: Nature at Your Service’ was chosen to encourage forest conservation and the sustainable management of forest resources that permits environmentally friendly growth.    

Torraspapel, part of the Lecta Group, carries out numerous actions involving forest conservation and their environmental promotion. Since 2004, Torraspapel has promoted, in collaboration with the NGO AccióNatura, reforestation programs and volunteer days in which customers, employees and their families have all participated, resulting in the planting of more than 20,500 trees on the Iberian Peninsula and in Brazil. Torraspapel also participates in the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) ‘Plant for the Planet’ by including its reforestation projects in the campaign and supplying the paper used in the campaign's print communications in Spain.   

Torraspapel has PEFC and FSC chain-of-custody certifications for all its sites, guaranteeing the responsible origin of the wood sourced in manufacturing its products.
