Environmental Paper Assessment Tool

Cenveo partnered with Metafore and 10 other leading companies to create the Environmental Paper Assessment Tool (EPAT), a data-driven, environmental assessment tool for buyers and sellers of paper products. The EPAT works by providing consistent language and metrics for buyers and sellers of paper products to discuss the environmental attributes and trade-offs in purchasing decisions.

 The Group’s goal is to make environmentally preferable paper products more widely available and affordable.
The EPAT is based upon the Paper Working Group’s seven desired outcomes for environmentally preferable paper:

° Minimization of waste

° Conservation of natural systems

° Clean production

° Community and personal well-being

° Credible reporting and verification

° Economic viability

EPAT can be accessed on the Metafore website at www.epat.org.
