Cascades and the environment
Because the protection of the environment is profoundly anchored to its values, Cascades has equipped itself with clear environmental guidelines which aim to exceed the environmental standards that are currently in force.
Incidentally, Cascades holds the title of largest wastepaper recoverer in Canada. In 2009, more than 2.1 million tonnes of wastepaper and cardboard were reused as raw material in our plants, rather than decompose in landfill sites. Our facilities consume 6 times less water than the Canadian paper industry average.
"At Cascades, sustainable development has never been a constraint. It is a way of living that gives meaning to all our actions."
Alain Lemaire, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades inc.
