Nature group helps Epson with ‘green’ purchasing
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Japan has helped Epson produce an ethical paper purchasing policy.
WWF
has assisted the Japanese printer and paper manufacturer to establish a
new policy that ensures wood used in its paper has not been illegally
logged and comes from sustainable sources. It also incorporates
previous company guidelines on not using harmful chemicals in the
production process.It will be applied to paper produced in Japan
immediately and to that produced overseas by 2008. Epson wants complete
compliance with the policy by 2010.Epson asked WWF for assistance after
reading an earlier report by the group on ethical paper procurement. It
explored the need for a balance between use and conservation of
forests, and how to use wood in a more appropriate way.
