Description
Does your printer supply your paper? What questions should you ask your printer or paper supplier? The U.S. Lacey Act, a 100-year old law, was updated in 2008 to include plant-based imports such as paper and wood products. New declaration requirements for imported paper products are being introduced this year. Hear how forestry chain-of-custody certification schemes like FSC, SFI and PEFC help with Lacey Act compliance. Learn what paper companies and printers are doing to protect themselves and their customers in an environment where enforcement is ramping up.
