 Environmental Credentials Statement  
  Mohawk Opaque is an environmentally responsible paper manufactured under strict environmental management systems using wind generated electricity and is made carbon neutral within Mohawks’ production processes by offsetting thermal manufacturing emissions with Verified Emissions Reduction credits (VERs) and by purchasing enough Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to match 100% of the electricity used in their operations. The entire range uses Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) pulps sourced from well managed forests combined with 10% post consumer waste (that has been manufactured from PCF pulp).

AN OUTLINE OF THE MOHAWK CARBON NEUTRAL CERTIFICATION (51KB)

This document outlines the basis for Mohawks’ carbon neutral claims.

INFORMATION ON MOHAWK FINE PAPERS CARBON NEUTRAL CERTIFICATION (3,775KB)

In March of 2007, the manufacturer of Mohawk Opaque, Mohawk Fine Papers, joined the U.S. EPA Climate Leaders program to further develop greenhouse gas reduction goals. As an extension of their voluntary commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to support renewable electric power, Mohawk began to offer products that are made carbon neutral.  For Mohawks’ carbon neutral qualification, Mohawk offsets both the electricity and the thermal energy used to make paper.  Mohawk does this within their production processes by offsetting thermal manufacturing emissions with Verifiied Emissions Reduction (VERs) credits and emissions from purchased electricity with Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from Green–e certified windpower projects. This document contains certificates and further information about the projects through which the emissions generated within the production process are being offset.
