In a world of finite resources and growing population, the traditional “take-make-dispose” economic model is increasingly unsustainable. As a consequence, companies are feeling pressure from customers, NGOs, regulators, and investors to rethink wasteful linear value chains. The “circular economy” envisions a more regenerative alternative focused on a “refurbish-repair-reuse-recycle” model that has the potential to sustain global growth in the face of increasing resource scarcity.
Sappi Limited board member and SETS Committee Chair Valli Moosa and Sappi North America’s Chief Business Sustainability Officer Jennifer Miller exchange thoughts on sustainable forestry.
For years, people have debated the question of whether paper derived from wood pulp can truly be environmentally friendly. To answer this question, you must consider the sustainability of the source of the wood or other materials used for fiber production, the amount of fiber, water, energy, and other resources used in production, the amount and fate of pollutants generated during the production process, and the potential recyclability or biodegradability of the end product. In short, the entire product life-cycle. Such an assessment clearly lies beyond the ability of the average consumer. But fortunately, the latest version of the Environmental Paper Network’s Paper Calculator makes the job much easier for governmental, NGO, institutional and corporate purchasers.

Food safety has always been important at Tyson and our team members are some of the finest in the world at ensuring the security and safety of the food we produce. Some of the documentation around those controls are still done in analog format (Excel spreadsheets, for example). But last week we announced an initiative that will lay the foundation for a digital transformation of our supplier management system. This initiative - through a partnership with FoodLogiQ, a Durham, NC-based software developer focused on food traceability - will test the applicability of blockchain within our supply chain.
