UPM Raflatac achieves Clean Industry certification

To achieve Clean Industry certification, companies must meet the legal requirements for environmental protection established by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA) in Mexico. They must also undergo an evaluation of manufacturing procedures and processes, such as environmental impacts and waste management. Companies must identify any potential risks and implement any preventive and corrective measures.

‘We are proud to be the first label stock supplier in the region to receive this highly-respected honor,’ said Jose Garcia, Raflatac sales director and general manager in Mexico, Central America and Caribbean. ‘In addition to all of our other certifications, we believe that Clean Industry certification reinforces UPM Raflatac's commitment to protecting the environment and furthers our goal of becoming the number one supplier in Mexico.’
