Papyrus to promote FSC-certified paper with Conqueror

Papyrus Papers (Pvt) Ltd., sole authorised distributor in Sri Lanka for Conqueror, has all products sourced from the portfolio of the global paper brand for sale in the local market are Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.

The FSC certification, which signifies that the pulp used in manufacture comes from well-managed forests, applies to the entire Conqueror range, as well as to allied products, the company said.

"What this means is that the paper and board we sell is certified as originating from renewable forests, and comply with internationally-approved environmental standards," said Michelle Abeyesundere, Managing Director of Papyrus Papers.

"Therefore, environment-conscious users, especially large corporate sector consumers can now make a commitment to the conservation of the environment by using FSC-certified paper from Conqueror," she said.

She disclosed that several other paper products from international brands that the company plans to market in Sri Lanka, would also be FSC certified.

Among these would be the Italian brand 'Favini' and the 'TruCard' range from the UK manufacturer Tullis Russell.

"Being eco-friendly and sustainable have become image-critical for businesses around the world," she pointed out.

"By promoting FSC-certified paper products, our message to paper users is - use less paper, but use good paper."
