Solaris Paper welcomes Asia Pulp & Paper’s latest SVLK certification

Australian tissue and paper supplier Solaris Paper and Paper Force has welcomed the latest announcement by its affiliate, Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), of a 4th SVLK certification. It has been awarded to APP’s PT Indah Kiat Pulp and Paper Mill in Serang, Java.

SVLK is the Indonesian Wood Legality Verification System. The system creates a rigorous chain of custody process designed to ensure the mills only receive and process timber from legal sources and that all products exported from the country are traceable to verifiable points of origin.

Aida Greenbury, APP’s Managing Director for Sustainability, said: “The 4th SVLK certification for APP, which is awarded to Indah Kiat Serang today, indicates that APP stays committed to lead the industry in Indonesia and to support our government to implement the toughest standards in the world for legality.

“Through Indah Kiat Serang, we at APP are looking for better ways to produce more sustainable and socially responsible products for the Australian market - by promoting recycled paper products and providing employment in the local area to improve our social and environmental footprints.”
