BOSTON, MA (News release) -- Sappi North America Inc., a leading producer and supplier of diversified paper, packaging products and pulp, announced today its Silver Telly and Platinum TITAN Business award wins for "The Power of Trees" video campaign. "The Power of Trees" demonstrates the sustainable benefits of wood fiber and its renewable, recyclable and remarkable nature within the paper and packaging industry.

The dual award wins underscore Sappi's commitment to ensuring forest health and the use of eco-friendly production. Sappi's use of wood fiber is a part of its larger goal of finding innovative ways to reduce its environmental footprint and use triple-certified forestry practices. From replacing single-use plastic packaging to creating textiles you wear every day, wood fiber helps replace other synthetic materials that are derived from fossil fuels.

"We're honored to receive these accolades from Telly and TITAN as the second and third honorable recognition for 'The Power of Trees'," said Patti Groh, director of communication for Sappi North America.

When our scientists craft innovative uses for the wood fiber that our foresters harvest and mill operators process, we're constantly thinking about how we can make each and every day more sustainable. Using the power of trees, we create products ranging from packaging, specialty and graphic papers to dissolving pulp for textiles to cellulose for stabilizing cosmetic products."
