Asia Pulp & Paper's New Anti-Deforestation Stance

Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), one of the world’s largest paper companies, announced earlier this month that it will no longer cut down natural forests in Indonesia and will demand similar commitments from its suppliers. The announcement was received with guarded optimism by Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network,World Wildlife Fund, and other NGOs who have waged a persistent campaign to change APP’s forest policies. Indeed, APP’s new policy—which includes sourcing all material from plantation-grown trees, ceasing clearing of carbon-rich peatland, and engaging more with local communities—is significant, both for the business world and forest conservation. APP and its suppliers manage more than 2.5 million hectares of land in Indonesia and produce more than 15 million tons of pulp, paper, and packaging globally every year. Strong action by APP could indicate that the industry is heading for a more sustainable future.   http://goo.gl/au01L

Created some plantable seed pod cards for Waste Management for the Phoenix Open event.  Difficult to print, as the paper does not run easily through the digital press's and the paper is so variable in thickness that it tends to need a 100% attention on both ends of the press.  In the end the job was printed offset on the Heidelburg GTO speedmaster, and looked great but it was definitely a challenge to run.
