FSC catalogue first from Stibo

Stibo Graphic in Denmark has printed what is claimed to be the world's first Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified B2B mail order catalogue, for office supplies company WITRE.

Stibo Graphic marketing manager Uffe Hansen said the catalogue was a breakthrough in its sector. "We hope this will now inspire other companies to produce their catalogues on FSC-certified stock," said Hansen.

The catalogue was produced on FSC-certified paper manufactured by Swedish papermaker SCA at its Sundsvall mill. Stibo has produced the 100,000-run catalogue annually for seven years for WITRE. The latest catalogue will not only carry the FSC label, but also the Nordic Swan, as both Stibo and WITRE are certified to its standards.

The 1,000pp catalogue will be distributed among WITRE's 55,000 customers in Scandinavia.
