Cascades rolls out new environmentally papers for commercial printing

SAINT-JEROME, QC, Feb. 21, 2011 (Press Release) - Cascades continues on its path of innovation with the roll-out of Rolland Enviro100 Satin and Cascades Enviro Kraft Print, two new environmentally-friendly papers for commercial printing. Yet again, the 100% post-consumer product line is expanding to address diverse user needs.
Rolland Enviro100 Satin is a hybrid combining the best of both worlds: the print quality of coated paper with the rich texture and environmental characteristics of uncoated paper. It is offered in various sizes and basis weights to accommodate commercial printing needs. With its treated surface, this paper is ideal for printing vibrant and colorful images. Its small environmental footprint allows for seamless integration into the Rolland Enviro100 product family. Manufactured using local and renewable biogas energy, it contains 100% post-consumer fiber and is also FSC, EcoLogo, and Processed Chlorine Free certified.

Specially designed for printing promotional materials, the new Cascades Enviro Kraft Print is a unique and innovative paper that is neither cardboard nor fine paper. This paper allows for a natural look and feel, with contrasting and vibrant colors. Its Oatmeal color and environmental attributes render it truly different. 100% post-consumer, it is FSC and EcoLogo certified. Whether for commercial or digital printing, Cascades Enviro Kraft Print is an original and environmentally-friendly alternative.
"In a mature market such as paper, innovation is the key to survival. Cascades challenged itself to do so with the utmost respect for the environment," said Francois Belisle, General Sales Manager, Specialty Papers. "These two new products are the culmination of such efforts."
