CERTIFIED ECO-PROTECTION FROM PAPIER SPRICK

Sustainability is a matter close to our hearts. As a manufacturer of recycled paper and other products made from waste paper, we are firmly committed to using recycled raw materials. Our corrugated cardboard and packaging paper carry the Blue Angel label and are FSC^®-certified. They consist of 100% recycled paper from controlled sources, with no addition of virgin fibres, optical brighteners or harmful finishing agents. In this way, we return waste paper to the recycling cycle and use it as a raw material for new paper products. Our production takes place exclusively in Germany and is ISO 50001-certified.

RECYCLED PAPER VS. VIRGIN FIBRE PAPER

It’s worth it!
The table shows a direct comparison of the resources used in the production of one tonne of paper between recycled paper and virgin fibre paper:
Compared with the production of virgin fibre paper, this saves approximately 78% water, 68% energy and 100% wood. Climate-damaging CO₂ emissions are reduced by up to 15%. The consistent use of 100% recycled paper helps to conserve natural resources.
