caring for tomorrow With environmental considerations becoming an ever increasing issue, MPS take their commitment to this extremely seriously. We are committed to managing and improving our environmental performance and indicators and operate an environmental management system. When sourcing paper special care is taken to only buy from manufacturers who can demonstrate proven sustainability policies and sound environmental credentials. In assessing these credentials, we check carefully that: •

The wood used to make the product is derived from a forest that is managed in an ecologically friendly manner and which carries whenever possible PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) or FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification. Such wood comes from trees grown and farmed as a crop and is an infinitely renewable resource which does not deplete the earth’s resources.

The pulp is bleached with either totally chlorine free (TCF) chemicals or elemental chlorine free (ECF) chemicals. This ensures that no harmful dioxins are discharged into watercourses.

The paper mill operations are accredited to recognised environmental standards such as IS014001 or EMAS. This ensures that effluents are treated to protect oxygen levels in watercourses, energy-efficient manufacturing methods are practised and water used in the paper making process is recycled).
