Our Future is Rooted in the Forest
As a manufacturer of wood fiber-based products, Domtar is committed to the long-term sustainability of North American forests. We source wood responsibly, using the highest certification standards. We collaborate with leading environmental groups to improve our performance and help generate funding for conservation programs around the world. We are especially proud of our work with small landowners to expand the use of sustainable forestry practices.
We procured 19 percent of total fiber from FSC-certified sources. In Ontario, we have recertified the Wabigoon Forest Tenure to the new FSC Canadian Forest Management standard and are on track to certify the Trout Lake Forest Tenure to the same standard in 2022.
Domtar's Sustainable Forestry Principles
We believe that the choices we make should leave the forests we depend on, and the communities we are a part of, better off for the long term. Our Sustainable Forestry Principles help make this belief a reality.

Making Paper New Again: The Limits of Recycling Paper
Paper is one of the great recycling success stories in the United States. Today, paper is one of the most recycled materials on the planet, and the push is on to reach the maximum practical paper recovery rate of 80 percent. Why can’t we recycle 100 percent of the paper we make?
Timber Regulation Compliance
Domtar's products are fully compliant with both the U.S. Lacey Act and EU Timber Regulation 995/2010.
