RPI gets a “green thumbs up”
RPI has been awarded its chain-of-custody certification with the Forest Stewardship Council. The certification process was conducted by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), an approved affiliate of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This environmentally friendly move for the Fall River, Mass. printing company means that they can use and resell FSC-certified paper to ensure environmental responsibility, social benefits, and economical management of the world’s forests.

“Many of our clients are becoming more environmentally aware, and therefore looking for a standard to which to adhere,” said RPI President Scott Ramsbottom. “We have always done our best to be green by recycling 100 percent of our waste paper, cardboard and aluminum printing plates, but now FSC provides us with a standard.”

The FSC is an international network to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC brings people together to find solutions to the problems created by poor forestry practices and to reward good forest management.
“We’re happy to show our ‘green thumb’ to our customers and prospects,” says Mark Goyette, RPI vice president. “Being an FSC-certified organization demonstrates our commitment to producing our quality finished products in a socially and environmentally conscientious way.” The FSC certification will provide RPI’s clients with an additional option to help reduce the environmental impact of their printed materials.
