LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 09, 2008 - Double A, a paper and pulp company based in Thailand, today announced the introduction of their environmentally-friendly paper made from farmed trees into the U.S. market.

The Double A U.S. operation, headquartered in Los Angeles, plans to roll out its paper products across the country this year, beginning with a focus on the California market.

"As a company and brand that is currently available in more than 100 countries worldwide, we have looked forward to having Double A paper in the U.S. market for a long time," said Thirawit Leetavorn, Senior Executive Vice President for Double A. "This is truly exciting for us and we would like to officially begin our U.S. relationship with a promise and a commitment to every customer to provide a paper product that is genuinely good for the environment while also high in quality."

Made from farmed Eucalyptus trees grown throughout agricultural communities in Thailand, Double A’s pulp harvesting method significantly reduces environmental impacts while making a high-quality paper product.

Planted alongside existing rice paddies, corn and other crops that would otherwise be unused, the paper from farmed trees does not require land clearing or the destruction of forests, avoiding impact to the environment. Additionally, the trees significantly diminish harmful greenhouse gases by reducing more than two million tons of CO2 emissions each year.

The Double A business also serves as a major economic benefit for the citizens of Thailand. The farmed trees are harvested by more than 1.5 million local farmers who receive training and stability amongst Thailand's agricultural crops that can cause seasonal labor migrations and income fluctuations.
