Sustainability Watch - November 2012

"More and more of our customers are being asked, or mandated, to evaluate the sustainability of their packaging," commented Terry Moede, corporate director of environment and safety for WS Packaging. "Having the third-party L.I.F.E. certification shows our customers that we operate in an environmentally sound manner and can provide documentation to meet their chain-of-custody requirements. We have implemented several processes and procedures to reduce waste and energy consumption throughout all our locations. We are currently pursuing L.I.F.E. certification at several other plants."
