Traceability:
The challenges of creating a truly traceable
supply chain are complex, often costly, and
require strong collaboration. Further, traceability
is a collaborative effort that involves many actors
across the entire supply chain. APR’s fibre is fully
traceability back to where the material is sourced
including its plantations. This information is publicly
reported under www.followourfibre,com
Power optimized with renewable biomass:
Most of the mill’s electricity is generated from
renewable resources, using clean energy
throughout the APR mill processes. As a result,
APR can drastically reduce the use of nonrenewable
fossil fuels.
