Moore Packaging Earns Certification From The Forest Stewardship Council
In May 2015, Moore Packaging Corporation’s extensive corrugating and converting operation in
Barrie, Ontario, received Chain Of Custody Certification from the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC). FSC is recognized as the global standard setter in responsible forest management. This
Chain of Custody certification enables consumers to support responsible forest management
through the selection of packaging independently-verified to meet FSC’s rigorous requirements.
Canadian-owned Moore Packaging, the largest non-integrated packaging company in Ontario,
produces more than 3 million square feet of corrugated containerboard each day. Founder,
Chairman and CEO, Peter Moore, describes attaining FSC Certification as, “A significant
achievement for this company on behalf of our customers and their customers.”
Moore Packaging Sales Director, Jeff Abbott, sees FSC Certification as a new benefit for their
clientele whose customers increasingly demand that paper packaging elements are recycled and
eco-sensitive: “As an independent company we have to stay at the forefront of our customers’
expectations, and this new certification enables us to offer our customers an immediately
recognizable way to demonstrate their own commitment to responsible resource use through the
purchase of our recycled linerboard packaging imprinted with the FSC logo.”
“From forest to shelf”
Products carrying the distinctive FSC logo —now including Moore Packaging’s output of
recycled corrugated board and packaging materials— are third-party certified as having been
tracked throughout the supply chain from authenticated paper fibre recycling sources to the
consumer.
