    Paper manufacturing

    At Rolland, we believe in the reincarnation of sustainable paper. Our innovative manufacturing processes mine the “urban forest” with the least amount of impact to the environment and its natural resources.

    Life cycle assessment

    Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an internationally recognized, scientific method that assesses the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle.

    Sustainability strategy

    We strive to create a sustainable future. See how we are working to achieve sustainable growth by investing in our products, our people and the planet.

    Biogas energy

    At Rolland, we use biogas as our main energy source. We transport it through a dedicated, eight-mile pipeline from a nearby landfill to fulfill 93% of our paper mill’s thermal energy needs.

    Our commitment

    Rolland is committed to being an ecological leader in the pulp and paper industry.

    Our certifications

    Paper certifications are designed to help protect the environment, promote sustainable practices, and inform consumers about the most ecological choices available to them.

Rolland Sustainability Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment

Life cycle assessment

At Rolland, we look beyond recycling to analyze the impact of everything we do. We have conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess and manage the footprint of our papers, demonstrating that Rolland Enviro® paper has the smallest environmental footprint when compared to the average papers in North America.

We can help you manage your own paper footprint. By using Rolland papers, you can achieve a substantial improvement in your ecological balance sheet.

What is an LCA?

An LCA is a systems-based, quantitative method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product. It is a leading tool used to assess the environmental impact of a product’s entire life cycle, from raw materials extraction through materials processing, manufacturing, distribution, to disposal.

Our LCA conforms to ISO 14040-14044 standards for LCA studies with comparative assertions intended to be disclosed to the public. That means results and conclusions were subject to a formal peer review process.

Rolland Enviro®, the best in its category

Better for you and the environment

Rolland Enviro® has the smallest environmental footprint when compared to other recycled and virgin papers in the industry. That’s because it’s made with 100% post-consumer recycled fiber, processed without chlorine and made using renewable energy, including biogas and hydroelectricity. 

Comparison

Rolland Enviro® is the best compared to the average virgin and 100% recycled paper in North America.

Rolland’s environmental footprint

Impact on climate change

Rolland Enviro®’s climate change impact is mainly attributable to emissions from paper decomposing in landfills and the fuel needed to collect used paper. The energy sources we use to manufacture our papers – biogas and hydroelectricity – help to greatly reduce the impact on climate change.
