Testimonials from Two Sides Members

Charles J. Ruffing, Director of Health, Safety, Environment & Sustainability, Eastman Kodak Company

"Kodak supports Two Sides in the U.S. because a key part of our business relies on the sustainable use of paper and print. We believe that both electronic and print communications will co-exist in the future, and we want to continue educating people about the sustainable life cycle of print and paper.”

David McGehee, President, MacPapers

“We are in the communication business and, quite frankly, have done a poor job of communicating our industry’s environmental benefits. Given the success of Two Sides in Europe, we are excited to be early adopters of the U.S. initiative.”

Mark Gardner, President & CEO, Sappi Fine Paper North America

"As a founding member of Two Sides U.S., we are pleased to join this coalition as part of our commitment to using a fact and science based approach to dispel environmental myths about paper. Our industry has a great environmental story to tell, as paper is recyclable and is made from renewable resources using a high percentage of renewable energy."

Thomas D. O'Connor, Jr., Chairman & CEO, Mohawk Fine Papers

“As an organization that has long been committed to environmental stewardship in the paper industry, we wholeheartedly support Two Sides here in the US as we have in Europe. Its objective, fact-based approach is 100% in line with our philosophy to provide customers with clear, easily understood information on this issue, enabling them to make well-informed decisions about the sustainability of paper and print."

Julie Schertell, President, Fine Paper - Neenah Paper, Inc.

“Two Sides provides a platform, a voice to dispel paper myths and legends, while using science to support facts and solutions. We are excited to join this voice and bring the conversation to our print and creative customers. It’s time to clearly communicate the sustainable value of print in today’s media mix.”

Sandra Van Ert, CEO & President, Appleton Coated

"Appleton Coated has joined Two Sides because we believe it can effectively tell the important story of how sustainable and environmentally responsible the U.S. paper and print industry has been. Their approach, to address head-on the uninformed and inaccurate messages about our industry with factual and straightforward information, is exactly what we need."

John R. Taylor III, Chairman of the Board/CEO, Olmsted-Kirk Paper Company

“As an industry, we have been behind the curve with promoting the positive environmental story of paper and print.  With Two Sides U.S., our industry will have a vehicle to dispel the myths and educate people as to the facts supporting the sustainability value of paper.  Two Sides in Europe has been a success for our industry abroad and we are excited to have this voice speaking on our behalf in the United States.”
