My Cart
No stranger to eco-innovation, Neenah has a rich history of sustainable products, partnerships, and certifications. We like to lead, rather than follow, and create our pathway for environmental business practices and standards, as evidenced by our eco-investments over time. For us, green is not just a paper color; it is a way of doing business.
Neenah is proud to devote significant efforts to increase sustainable premium paper production by implementing responsible fiber sourcing standards, conservation efforts, and focusing on the recyclability of our products. It started the day we opened our doors, and along the way, we've reached noteworthy milestones.
A History of Environmental Responsibility
When in 1989, the market demanded more environmentally friendly premium papers, Neenah responded with the launch of beautifully colored and textured ENVIRONMENT® Papers. We've helped to reforest the Osa Peninsula and received recognition from the Natural Resources Foundation for our Wisconsin contributions to the State Natural Area's Program. Neenah has been honored by the EPA as a Green Power Leadership Club member and pursued and received Green-e Certification.
Not content to rest on our laurels, in 2007, Neenah committed to an ongoing partnership with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to further our responsible fiber sourcing practices. As a result, Neenah became the first premium mill to offer FSC-certified papers and the first mill worldwide to watermark FSC trademarks in its papers.
Environmental Efforts Rewarded
Neenah is proud to announce recognition for those accomplishments by the FSC with The FSC Leadership Awards. The FSC Leadership Awards celebrate forest owners, builders, architects, retailers, paper mills, manufacturers, environmental organizations, and many others who contribute to the movement toward responsible sourcing and forest management.
On behalf of Neenah, Kristen Duncan, Customer Marketing and Sustainability Manager, and Katherine Oleszko, FPP, Operations, attended the award ceremony to take place on the 25th Anniversary of FSC.
“We are proud to accept this 2019 FSC Leadership Award alongside other leading companies who take responsible sourcing and forest management seriously. Neenah remains strongly committed to continuing our storied history of producing premium paper and packaging materials with the highest level of integrity,” says Duncan.
