Domtar Press Release

Domtar Corporation today announced it is furthering its partnership
with Recyclebank® by supporting the Recyclebank Green Schools Program, which awards schools grant money for unique student projects that will
make a positive environmental impact on their communities. Domtar will
make more students’ green projects a reality by contributing additional
donation dollars, as well as awarding a year’s supply of EarthChoice® Office Paper to the school with the most innovative project. Domtar is committed to
providing more sustainable paper options; its EarthChoice Office Paper
meets the global forest management standards of the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC®) and is certified by the Rainforest Alliance.

Recyclebank is the company that rewards people for taking everyday green
actions with discounts and deals from locally-based businesses and
national brands. Each year, the Recyclebank Green Schools Program
awards environmental project grants to schools in Recyclebank
communities. Together, these schools, their students and their
communities work to encourage residents to donate points that
Recyclebank transfers into real dollars for schoolsthereby turning a
community’s green actions into funds for a local school. Since 2007,
Recyclebank has granted close to $400,000 to more than 125 schools.
This year, Domtar will award an additional $500 to every school that
reaches 50 percent of its donation goal.

“At Domtar, we are passionate about supporting educational projects,
like the Recyclebank Green Schools Program, as it is an important part
of our company’s commitment to the sustainable development of our
communities,” said Paige Goff, Vice-President of Sustainable Business
and Brand Management at Domtar. “By partnering with Recyclebank, we are
able to guide more students and consumers to make sustainable choices,
which ultimately help to reduce their overall environmental impact.”

Since 2011, Domtar has been working with Recyclebank to increase
awareness of the benefits of responsible paper production, use and
recycling. Past projects for Recyclebank members, sponsored by Domtar,
have included educational gaming modules about responsible forestry,
seasonal Web content about paper usage and recycling and a rewards
offer for EarthChoice Office Paper.

“Since we began the Green Schools Program, it has been inspiring to see
the creative and thoughtful approaches from schools across the country
in the spirit of solving today’s pressing environmental challenges,”
said Karen Bray, vice president of marketing, community solutions at
Recyclebank. “We admire Domtar’s ongoing commitment to sustainability,
and together we look forward to empowering more of tomorrow’s
environmental leaders to put their ideas into action and make an impact
on our planet.”
