Celebrating Forests
We all know the benefits of forests - that they absorb carbon, help oxygenate the planet, prevent soil erosion and cool the earth. Earlier this month, Domtar joined the world in celebrating the noble tree on International Day of Forests. Hear from Domtar's vice president of sustainability and communications on the importance of forests, and what the company is doing to ensure they continue to thrive.
Why Can't All Paper Be 100% Recycled?
Paper is one of the most recycled products on the planet. But if not all paper can be made from 100% recycled fiber, what should we use? And how is the average consumer to know when they should buy products made with recycled content vs. new wood fiber? Domtar's senior manager of sustainability performance optimization helps answer these important questions.
