The Nordic Swan Ecolabel Indicates a Product
Meets Responsible Environmental Requirements
Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE: RYAM, the “Company”), a
pioneer in the production of fluff pulp, today announced that it
qualifies as an “Inspected Raw Material” by Nordic Swan
Ecolabelling. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel sets strict environmental
requirements in all phases of manufacturing, including requirements
for eco-friendly chemicals used in ecolabeled products. The status
will appear on products made with RYAM’s fluff pulp and indicates
to consumers and commercial buyers that the product is sustainably
produced and environmentally friendly.
“The Nordic Swan Ecolabel exemplifies our commitment to
sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing and is an
important component of realizing RYAM’s BioFuture,” said Vito
Consiglio, President and CEO of Rayonier Advanced Materials.
“Increasingly, consumers expect that the products they buy be
sourced with eco-friendly materials. The ecolabel will help
consumers easily identify products made with our fluff pulp as
green sustainably produced and environmentally friendly.”
Rayonier Advanced Materials is a producer of fluff pulp and
various other cellulose-based materials, many of which serve as
alternatives to petroleum-based products. RYAM’s operations create
a market for sustainably sourced wood materials that in turn help
to support over two million acres of working forests. These working
forests play an essential role in contributing to clean air and
water and providing critical wildlife habitat. As a result, our
product has cost advantages for consumers and commercial
buyers.
“It means a lot to our customers, sales, and marketing team for
our fluff pulp to receive the ‘Inspected Raw Material’ status from
Nordic Ecolabelling and is a culmination of over two years of
effort,” said Joshua Hicks, Senior Vice President, High Purity
Cellulose of Rayonier Advanced Materials. “We are focused on
achieving RYAM’s BioFuture and becoming more sustainable while
reducing our impact on the environment, and we are proud to have
received this exceptional recognition.”
In the United States, just a very small percentage of fluff pulp
currently produced meets the Nordic Swan Ecolabel standard.
Rayonier Advanced Materials has an annual capacity of 245,000 tons
which are all eligible for Nordic Swan’s “Inspected Raw Material”
status. The status will make it easy for downstream consumers of
absorbent hygiene products containing RYAM's fluff pulp, such as
adult incontinence, baby diapers, and feminine hygiene products, to
identify their products as sustainably produced.
