Cascades makes short list for innovation awards

CANDIAC, Quebec — Cascades has been named a finalist in the 2013 Edison Awards, the company said Monday.

The company said its antibacterial paper towels made the short list in the awards' "Consumer Packaged Goods: Cleaning Solutions" category. Award winners will be named on April 25 at the Edison Awards Annual Gala in Chicago.

"We are honored to be considered for such a renowned award, among so many other great innovations," Cascades Tissue Group CEO Suzanne Blanchet said. "While our antibacterial paper towel is a groundbreaking innovation, it also makes good common sense for human health."
