Environmental Choice™
Strathcona’s full line of recycled paper board is the first and only one to have received Environmental Choice™ certification in 2007.
Environmental Choice™ Program
In 1988, Environment Canada established the Environmental Choice™ Program – an independent set of standards and certification. It identifies products and services meeting strict criteria of environmental leadership.
Since 1996, the EcoLogo program has been managed by TerraChoice Environmental Marketing.
For a paper board product to be certified, the environmental impact of its entire life cycle is considered:
- energy and material consumed in production
- pollutants generated by their production, use and disposal
Specific measurements in the paperboard category include:
- air emissions
- water emissions
- waste reduction
- efficient use of fibre, preferably recycled fibre
- energy use
The EcoLogo™
With certification comes the right to use the EcoLogo™. Use of the logo helps buyers and customers identify the world’s most environmentally friendly products.
All Strathcona paper board products are certified, carry the EcoLogo™ and
- meet or exceed all applicable government and industrial safety and performance standards
- are manufactured and transported in accordance with all applicable government acts, by laws and regulations, including the Fisheries Act and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act
- adhere to a full range of technical specifications, which begin on page 5 (PDF)
