Every day, we use enormous amounts of paper and cardboard for packaging, labels, cards, leaflets, and other communications. Much of this is made from pulp paper, which requires trees, water, and chemicals. These products are often used only briefly before being discarded.
This video shows the magnitude of the problem with single-use packaging and paper waste streams. While recycling helps, demand for virgin pulp remains high, and the impact on forests, water use, and energy remains significant.
That's why more and more companies are looking to alternative materials. One of those alternatives is Stone Paper, paper made from mineral powder (calcium carbonate) and a small amount of binder, without the need for trees, water, or bleaching agents during production.
We use this material for, among other things:
-
maps (cycling, walking and sailing maps)
-
self-adhesive labels and tags
-
leaflets and information folders
-
packaging printing
-
reusable boxes
Stone Paper is strong, water-resistant, and tear-resistant, meaning products last longer and require fewer replacements. By replacing pulp paper with this material in certain applications, we can reduce the pressure on natural resources and contribute to a more circular and sustainable paper supply chain.
