Appleton Coated has earned the designation of "Green Master," the highest tier in the Green Masters Program established by the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council. As a Green Master, Appleton Coated has performed actions in each of nine sustainability areas and has scored in the top 20% of all participating companies.
Headquartered in Combined Locks, WI, with more than 650 employees, Appleton Coated boasts the first coated mill to be FSC®-certified in North America, has lowered overall energy usage, and has increased utilization of alternative energy. It has substituted biomass for 42% of its coal usage during the last three years as it seeks alternatives for fossil fuels.
Appleton Coated manufactures paper with high post-consumer recovered fiber content. Ninety-nine percent of the paper leaving Appleton Coated is shipped with partner carriers that have the Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay designation.
Applicants to the Green Masters Program are judged on a range of sustainability issues, from energy to water use to educational outreach and governance. More than 90 Wisconsin businesses are participating in the program, where the top 20% achieve the highest "Green Master" designation.
