Sustainability

May 2021 - Opening of Sher Park
March 2022: Solar Phase 1
July 2023: Solar Phase 2

Sher Park

For the 2022 Arbor Day, UP decided to use the opportunity to go the extra mile and turn it into Arbor Week by planting 85 trees in our own personal “little” park.

Our amazing employees came in teams, and others as brave individuals to plant these babies. Each one put in the time and effort to ensure that they left a true legacy behind – a tree that would provide a reprieve from the sun, a place to rest, as well as contributing to a more sustainable future and bigger ecosystem for plants, birds, insects, and little critters.

Renewable Energy

At Universal Paper, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, while maintaining our production efficiency and high-quality standards.

In 2022, we began our renewable energy journey with Phase 1 of our solar panel installation project. By March 2022, we successfully completed Phase 1, which included our paper manufacturing plant and parts of our converting plant, allowing a grid-dependency reduction of 14%. An additional reduction of 11% was implemented with the completion of Phase 2 in July 2023. Renewable energy now supplements our electricity usage with a remarkable 25%.

Use the link below to check out our statistics and photographs to see advancements of this exciting project.
