Key Advantages
Widely Recycled: Paper-based packaging is widely accepted in recycling programs, making it easier to divert waste from landfills
Reduced Carbon Footprint: The production of paper-based packaging generally generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to plastic manufacturing, contributing to a lower carbon footprint and mitigating climate change.
Renewable Resource: Paper is derived from trees, a renewable resource that can be sustainably managed through responsible forestry practices, reducing the depletion of finite resources. A lot of European board is sourced from Scandanavian forests which have a rich history in responsible stewardship of their resources.
Customization and Branding: Paper-based packaging offers versatile printing options, allowing businesses to showcase their brand identity and product information with vibrant designs and large display area.
Eco-Friendly Image: Utilising paper-based packaging aligns businesses with environmentally conscious consumer preferences, enhancing their image and marketability.
By pushing the boundaries of paper-based packaging together, we can collectively usher in a more sustainable and harmonious world for generations to come.

Key Advantages Of Cartonboard
Cartonboard is primarily made from wood pulp fibres from which the vast majority comes from sustainably managed forests in Europe. In fact, the planting of new trees far outstrips the wood harvested each year. This means that European forest coverage is now 30% larger than in the 1950’s.
Cartonboard has a low carbon footprint compared to other packaging materials and both virgin fibre and recycled fibre options are available
Cartonboard production uses highly carbon efficient energy methods especially through wood based biomass conversion – around 50% of the energy used at board mills comes from wood by-products.
Cartonboard is the packaging material that has the lowest impact on the environment and climate change. Carbon is absorbed by the trees, stored in the ground and is kept locked in the fibres when it is recycled.
Cartonboard is a feedstock for the production of recycled cartonboard or other paper based products. Paper and board is the most recycled material in the EU – it has a 81% recycling rate
Cartonboard fibres can be reused many times over their life if properly recycled. Recycled cartonboard is also compostable or can finally be used as an energy source in an incinerator
Cartonboard offers endless opportunities for innovative and creative packaging designs and uses. It is a key material growing in importance as the world wakes up to the devastating impact of post consumer plastic waste on our environment and ecosystems.
