CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2013) -  Two Sides, the fast-growing non-profit organization established to promote the responsible production, use and sustainability of print and paper, today announced that NewPage Corporation has joined the organization. "For a company like NewPage, a business whose products come from the forest, sustainability represents a unique opportunity to make a positive difference for our planet," says NewPage Vice President of Marketing Steven Devoe. "Joining Two Sides gives us the opportunity to share more broadly how NewPage is contributing to progress in areas from sustainable forestry and reduced greenhouse gas emissions to cleaner manufacturing and recycling. Our Two Sides membership also helps expand our own efforts to correct the many common myths about the sustainability of print and paper." "Print and paper have a great environmental story to tell, and Two Sides is pleased to have NewPage join our growing U.S. effort to get the word out to as many people as possible," says Two Sides President Phil Riebel. "Made from one of the earth's few truly renewable resources -- trees from responsibly managed forests -- print and paper is the most recycled commodity in the world. Nearly 68 percent of paper produced in the United States is recovered for recycling. In addition, the demand for responsibly grown wood fiber to make print and paper products provides a long-term financial incentive for private landowners to manage their land sustainably instead of selling it for development -- the primary cause of deforestation in the United States," he says. "And the print, paper and mailing supply chain supports millions of U.S. jobs."
