since 1964
At Cascades, for more than 60 years, we have been revealing the potential of materials, ideas, and people.

Together with our experts, we pursue a shared ambition: maximizing our partners’ potential while minimizing their environmental impact.

Our Approach to Sustainability
At Cascades, we are committed to maximizing our partners’ potential
while minimizing their impact.
Since our beginnings, we have been transforming recycled wood and paper fibres into hygiene and packaging solutions. Recycled fibres remain the primary raw material in our processes. When virgin fibres are required, we prioritize FSC® certified or FSC® compliant sources. At every stage of the value chain, we work with partners whose practices we assess to ensure they align with our expectations.
Behind each roll and box lies expertise, innovation, research and a commitment to developing value-added products for our customers, while minimizing their environmental footprint. Guided by science, we rely on recognized eco-design principles and life cycle assessment to develop more sustainable products.
For decades, we have worked to improve the efficiency of our operations by reducing water and energy consumption, as well as our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This continuous improvement is at the core of our environmental performance.
2.5 x
