Environmental Certificate

• Board Composition

The Tembec Paperboard Group’s paperboard is a three-ply sheet composed of a layer of Temcell® pulp enclosed between layers of kraft pulp.

• Recyclability

The Tembec Paperboard Group’s board is fully recyclable.

• Environmental Impact
  1. The use of Temcell® pulp in the middle layer uses less trees. Only 2,000 lb (907 kg) of wood is required to produce 1,900 lb (862 kg) of Temcell® Pulp.
  2. Temcell® pulp is a high yield fiber produced by a chlorine-free process and does not discharge organochlorides to the environment.
  3. Kraft pulps used in the Tembec Paperboard Group’s paperboard are produced without elemental chlorine.
  4. All pulps used by Tembec Paperboard Group contain no detectable level of dioxins and are, therefore, safe for use in sensitive areas, such as food packaging.
