This piece was printed on Rolland Enviro100 Satin which is EcoLogo, Processed Chlorine Free (PCF) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certified, and manufactured in Canada from 100% post-consumer recycled material from North American recycling programs by Cascades using biogas energy (methane from a landfill site). This alternative green energy source is supplying the paper mill with 93% of its thermal energy needs. Manufacturing Rolland Enviro100 Satin produces 85% less greenhouse gas emissions than the average 100% recycled paper and 94% less than the average 100% virgin paper. To date, Cascades has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 26% compared to the year 1990.
