About

Why ?

Every business has a responsibility to reduce its impact on the environment. That's one of the reasons why we have developed a sustainable recycled paper wrap that replaces conventional virgin fibre graphic paper with a much stronger product that delivers your magazine or mailing in the condition intended, together with all the credentials that you need for good customer eco-optics.

Biowrap is made entirely from recycled waste packaging boxes and post consumer paper waste. Printed with vegetable inks and bio and marine degradable and compostable in line with EN13432.

By using Biowrap you help preserve forests by reducing the demand for wood logging, which itself releases amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. One tonne of Biowrap will save around seventeen trees, and the production process of recycled paper reduces carbon emissions in comparison to paper made with virgin wood pulp.

Biowrap is available plain and printed CMYK in white and natural finish, free from optical bleaching agents. Also available in envelope form, C4 and C5 mailing wallets with or without windows.

"The use of recycled paper is endorsed by WWF, UNEP and Greenpeace"

Greenpeace: "National and regional governments are starting to legislate to drive adoption of reuse. For example, in Romania businesses must reach a minimum 25% in their reusable packaging across all formats by 2025. France is aiming for 10% of packaging to be reusable by 2027, while Germany set an ambitious target for 80% of beverage packaging to be reusable. In addition, the European Commission has committed to reviewing their Packaging Directive to reinforce mandatory requirements, including driving design for reuse and potential restrictions on some packaging where there are no reusable alternatives"

Yesterday's paper makes for a better tomorrow

"Unsustainable pulp and paper operations continue to drive tremendous impact on our world’s forests."

"From tissue to office paper, catalog paper and packaging, the pulp and paper industry uses a significant amount of all industrial wood globally. The logging of so many trees for the pulp and paper industry can have devastating impacts on our world’s forests and our climate.

The pulp and paper industry has ravaged tropical rainforests, degraded old growth and intact forests, spurred social conflict, harmed endangered and threatened species, and driven the rise of plantations replacing our natural forests."

"The rise in e-commerce and the switch from plastic to disposable paper-based packaging has sparked unsustainable growth of the pulp and paper industry."
