Sappi Fine Paper

Well Done!!

"Sappi was awarded ‘Innovative Product of the Year’ for Tempo™ in the 2009 Pulp & Paper International (PPI) Awards. Math Jennekens, Director Research and Development, Sappi, was at the event to collect the award. The PPI Awards are the only global awards dedicated to recognising the achievements in this sector. Tempo™ is a revolutionary coated wood-free, sheetfed paper with unique fast ink setting and drying properties, superior ink scuff resistance and reduction of anti-offset powder usage."

The Communiqu... Read Moreé is a private sector call for “an ambitious, robust and equitable global deal on climate change that responds credibly to the scale and urgency of the crises facing the world today”. One of Sappi’s primary goals is to reduce the carbon footprint by improving energy efficiencies and decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels. In North America, between 2004 and 2008 we achieved a reduction of 27% in total energy use per ton of product produced. In this region, more than 75% of all energy used is derived from renewable resources (black liquor, bark, sludges and purchased biomass). In South Africa, it is 38.1% and for Europe is 31.8%, with our global figure standing at 48.6%. The figure for South Africa will increase to over 50% once the Saiccor expansion project is fully operational.

When & where is the Swiss conference? Can't find any info on it.

Sorry Mary, this was just an internal Sappi meeting. But let us know when you come to Europe next time with some good ideas!

Thanks for the overwhelming reception! I'm a graphic designer in Santa Barbara, CA and participated in IDEAS that MATTER (1 of 13 national winners) a few years ago.

More importantly, my profile image is my Weimaraner as Eustace Tilly. I hope you all come visit us soon!
