NewPage Corporation announced that Futura Laser, a premium No.1 coated paper for digital applications, is now Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain-of-custody certified (SW-COC-001930).

Futura Laser is also third-party chain-of-custody certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) schemes.

“Having an FSC chain-of-custody certified offering in the premium digital papers line gives end users, paper specifiers and printers more paper options on which to image, using the most environmentally sound combinations of technology, media and equipment,” says Michelle Garrett, NewPage marketing strategy manager for digital papers.

“Imaging companies now have the choice of employing ultra low emissions emitting printing equipment, chain-of-custody certified media and efficient work flow technologies to produce the highest quality direct mail and marketing collateral. The result is little or no printing waste, less obsolete printed material on the shelves, quicker time to market and greater return rates, ultimately resulting in less discarded mail entering the waste stream.”
