MOD-PAC CORP. Earns Chain-of-Custody Certification Demonstrating Commitment to Sustainable Forest Management

MOD-PAC CORP. (NASDAQ: MPAC) (the “Company”), a manufacturer of custom and stock paper board packaging and provider of personalized print products, announced today that as part of its continued commitment to environmental responsibility that it has earned chain-of-custody (CoC) certification from both the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI(R)) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) for its paperboard packaging facility located in Buffalo, NY.

These two independent organizations represent the leading global forestry certification bodies and provide standards requiring third-party validation of a plant's documented processes and CoC monitoring system. CoC certification outlines requirements for tracking certified material from the forest to the final product to ensure that the wood contained in the product or product line originates from certified forests and organizations with forestry practices that integrate the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the protection of wildlife, plants, soils, and water.

Additionally, MOD-PAC’s Buffalo facility has been certified to SFI(R)'s fiber sourcing procurement requirements, which requires program participants to show that the raw material in their supply chain comes from legal and responsible sources, whether the forests are certified or not.

“This combination of certifications provides our customers with the highest degree of confidence and flexibility for them to provide chain-of-custody or fiber sourcing claims while demonstrating our corporate commitment to the sustainability of our planet," said Daniel G. Keane, President and Chief Executive Officer of MOD-PAC CORP.

David B. Lupp, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer added, "We take great pride in the efforts that we have made to ensure the sustainability of our planet for future generations. By receiving these certifications we are now able to supply our customers with the most stringent fiber certifications possible to go along with our high quality products and short lead times."
