Green Factory: SSM Paper Fully Adopts FSC-Certified Environmentally Friendly Base Paper
Green Commitment Starts at the Source
Green Certification: In February 2025, SSM Paper officially announced the full adoption of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified environmentally friendly base paper procurement standards. This means all product lines will gradually transition to using base paper made from traceable, sustainably sourced wood pulp, ensuring environmental responsibility right from the source.
FSC is one of the world's most credible forest certification systems. Products bearing the FSC mark demonstrate that raw materials come from strictly audited, sustainably managed forests, with full supply chain traceability ensuring no involvement in illegal logging or ecological destruction.
Full Chain Traceability, Transparent Responsibility
SSM Paper has systematically upgraded its supply chain management. The company has established strategic partnerships with multiple FSC-certified international pulp suppliers, ensuring every batch carries FSC certification and complete traceability records. Internally, a strict material batch management system has been implemented.
Consumers may not see which forest the raw materials come from, but we must ensure it's a responsible source. Currently, the company's FSC-certified base paper usage rate has exceeded 80%, with a goal of achieving 100% coverage by the end of 2025.
Energy Saving and Green Production
Beyond raw material upgrades, SSM Paper practices environmental responsibility throughout its manufacturing operations. The company continues to invest in energy-saving technology upgrades, introducing high-efficiency equipment consuming approximately 20% less energy than the industry average, wastewater treatment systems with over 90% water reuse rate, and optimized processes to reduce chemical usage.
Market Recognition, Green Competitiveness
Environmental responsibility is a tangible competitive advantage. In developed markets such as Europe and North America, FSC certification has become a baseline requirement for major retailers. SSM Paper's full adoption of FSC certification significantly enhances product competitiveness in international markets.
Sustained Investment in a Greener Future
SSM Paper will steadfastly pursue the green development path, continuing to increase investment in environmental technology, cleaner production, and circular economy, taking concrete action to protect our natural environment.
