The National Association of Paper Merchants (NAPM) of the United Kingdom has launched the "Two Sides" initiative to raise public awareness of the strong environmental case for paper.

Torraspapel, part of the Lecta Group, has joined the ranks of sponsors of the "Two Sides" initiative (www.twosides.info), launched in October 2008 by the National Association of Paper Merchants (NAPM) of the United Kingdom with the aim of presenting factual information to dispel common myths about paper.  Torraspapel values this initiative as a means of educating the paper-buying public about  environmental facts and encouraging responsible paper use.   It is fundamentally important to have a serious, balanced dialogue on the role of paper in society as a natural, renewable and recyclable means of communication, that helps improve the quality of people's lives and contributes to a sustainable future.        

The industry-wide "Two Sides" approach complements Torraspapel's environmental policy, and further demonstrates the company's firm commitment to respecting the environment. In addition to holding Chain of Custody forest certifications that substantiate the sustainable origin of wood used in the production of paper, all Torraspapel mills hold quality and environmental management certifications that attest to the criteria of environmental sustainability underlying its operations.
