Melville, NY (PRWEB) August 5, 2008 — As a part of a broad commitment to corporate social responsibility, Pendaflex, one of the world’s premier manufacturers of organizational solutions, announced today that it has achieved Sustainable Forestry Initiative� (SFI Inc.) fiber sourcing certification across the United States.
Pendaflex has a long standing commitment to the environment. In the early 1990’s Pendaflex developed a line of products made from 100 % recycled papers called Earthwise�. Earthwise was the first line of filing supplies to meet or exceed the EPA’s revised guidelines of 30% for post consumer and recycled content. Earthwise products are made from papers that contain 50% post consumer materials. In addition, all Pendaflex paper filing supplies contain at least 10% post consumer materials. For more than 15 years Pendaflex has stood strong on delivering products with superior performance while helping our customers make a world of difference in protecting the planet.
“Demand for products from responsibly-managed forests is increasing worldwide and with today’s announcement, Pendaflex joins a number of companies that are demonstrating environmental commitment through certification,” said SFI Inc. President and CEO Kathy Abusow. “With just 10 per cent of the world’s forests certified, Pendaflex has taken a leadership role by supporting global efforts to improve forest practices.”
