DIEPPE — Royale announced that its tissue products have been certified carbon neutral by the Carbon Trust.
Royale tissue products are manufactured by Irving Consumer Products Limited, an affiliate of J.D. Irving, Limited. J.D. Irving, Limited is recognized for responsible forest management and contributions to ecosystem research, habitat conservation and reforestation. J.D. Irving, Limited and its affiliates have planted more than 1 billion trees since 1957.
Forests managed by J.D. Irving, Limited and its affiliates remove more carbon per year than is emitted in the life cycle of Royale tissue products manufactured in the year.
Each year, J.D. Irving, Limited and its affiliates harvest less than 2 per cent of the forest it manages, ensuring that the company grows more wood than it harvests annually.
J.D. Irving, Limited and its affiliates integrated supply chain ensures the highest utilization of the forest resource, leaving little to waste – from lumber, chips, and bark to sawdust and wood shavings.
The Carbon Trust has certified that Royale tissue products have achieved carbon neutrality on the total carbon footprint of tissue products sold in Canada from cradle-to-grave in accordance with the PAS 2060:2014 standard. This includes the carbon footprint of all scopes including input materials, production, distribution, use-phase, and end-of-life phase of the tissue products.
“The confirmation that Royale tissue products are carbon neutral is another step in a larger commitment to caring about the environment by Irving Consumer Products,” said Robert K. Irving, President of Irving Consumer Products and Co-CEO of J.D. Irving, Limited. “Households across Canada use Royale tissue products in their homes every day, so we’re thrilled to be able to reward that choice with a carbon neutral product that brings unchanged premium quality, value and softness that Royale consumers expect.”
