The award serves not only to reward companies for their efforts but also to raise public awareness of key sustainability issues and foster dialogue on the subject.
WHY PAPERWISE HAS BEEN NOMINATED:
PaperWise’s nomination for the German Sustainability Award 2024 was based on its impressive efforts to reduce the paper industry’s ecological footprint and promote social responsibility. The company has successfully integrated sustainable packaging solutions and printing into mass production, making a significant contribution to reducing unnecessary deforestation and promoting the circular economy.
PAPERWISE – SUSTAINABLE PAPER FOR A BETTER WORLD
PaperWise is a pioneering solution that uses agricultural waste from crops such as rice, wheat, barley, corn, hemp, or sugarcane to produce high-quality paper and paperboard. This innovative approach reduces dependence on tree felling, thereby contributing to the conservation of our forests. Compared to paper made from wood fibers and recycled paper, PaperWise offers several decisive advantages:
Environmental benefits
1. Tree-friendly: PaperWise prevents deforestation and supports the conservation of our forests and ecosystems.
- Less energy and fewer chemicals: Producing PaperWise requires less energy and fewer chemicals than the production of wood-based paper.
Lower greenhouse gas emissions: By using agricultural waste, an environmentally friendly production process, and carbon offsetting, PaperWise significantly reduces CO2 emissions compared to paper from trees and recycled paper.
2. Quality and performance
- High-quality paper: PaperWise offers excellent print quality and durability to meet the needs of a wide range of applications.
- Versatile applications: our sustainable paper and paperboard are ideal for a range of applications, including packaging, printing, and office supplies.
- Recycling: PaperWise can be recycled through the normal paper waste stream, just like paper from trees.
3. Sustainable business practices
- Environmentally friendly image: Companies that switch to PaperWise demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, which strengthens their corporate image.
- Employee and customer engagement: More and more employees and customers prefer environmentally friendly products and support sustainable brands. Using PaperWise can help retain existing employees and customers and attract new ones.
- Sustainability goals: Companies can achieve their sustainability goals in a very simple way. The environmental impact of PaperWise is 47% lower than paper from trees and 29% lower than recycled paper.
