Sheridan Books, Inc. is FSC Certified - Journals, Magazines, Catalogs, Article Reprints | The Sheridan Group

Chelsea, MI - On June 20, 2008, Sheridan Books, Inc. (SBI), a leading book manufacturer located in Michigan, received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain-of-custody certification (SW-COC-003264) from the SmartWood Program of the Rainforest Alliance.

By becoming FSC chain-of-custody certified, SBI is able to address a growing customer need, the desire to use certified paper and pulp based materials. FSC certification is another way SBI is showing its commitment to environmental issues by being able to produce books that are FSC chain-of-custody certified. In 2006 Sheridan Books signed on as a member of the Green Press

Initiative and committed to sourcing paper that is verified to be free of endangered forest fiber and is bleached with Processed Chlorine Free (PCF) or Enhanced Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) protocols. Currently, SBI only works with mills that are Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or FSC certified.

Sheridan Books, Inc. is committed to protecting the environment and to the responsible use of natural resources. As a printer, with paper as a core part of its business, SBI is concerned about the future of the world’s endangered forests and is committed to implementing policies that facilitate conservation. The FSC chain-of-custody provides assurance that customers are buying products sourced directly from responsibly managed forests. FSC independently tracks, traces, and identifies wood fibers from the forest through every step of the procurement process, confirming that each supplier along the way follows rigorous controls, management, and reporting practices. Publishers wishing to learn more about SBI’s FSC certification may contact their sales representative or call SBI at 734-475-9145.
