PaperWise secures third place in the KVK Innovation Top 100
PaperWise is a proud finalist in the 16th edition of the KVK Innovation Top 100. This Top 100 features the most successful innovations from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Over the past 15 years, this award has grown into the largest and most significant innovation prize for SMEs in the Netherlands. On February 2, a panel of innovation experts revealed the top 3 from a selection of more than 330 entries and named Grown.bio the winner. PaperWise proudly finishes in third place and congratulates the numbers one and two (Schouten Europe BV) on this great honor.
Focus on sustainable innovations
This year, the KVK Innovation Top 100 focused on sustainable innovations. The KVK’s mission is to stimulate the growth of SMEs, and innovation is therefore one of its most important pillars. This pillar is reflected, among other things, in the KVK Innovation Top 100. Innovation is one of the most vital components for the survival of companies. Like the organizer KVK, PaperWise hopes that the KVK Innovation Top 100 inspires entrepreneurs to pursue their own innovation plans. After all, innovation does not always have to be ‘rocket science’; it is within everyone’s reach.
Together wise with waste
“I am extremely proud,” says founder Peter van Rosmalen. “We work very hard with a highly motivated and enthusiastic team to further increase the sustainability of the paper industry together with thousands of customers across 23 countries. Our paper revolution continues every day! Daily, we provide proof that it is possible to use the stems and leaves left over after harvesting (agricultural waste) as a valuable raw material for sustainable and socially responsible PaperWise paper and paperboard for office use, printing, and packaging.”
Would it not be fantastic to create a world in which we upgrade agricultural waste and other plant residues into high-quality paper and paperboard in a safe and environmentally friendly way, while also ensuring that the people working in this chain benefit fairly and equally from this new economy? Would you like to participate in this paper revolution and help make the world a little more beautiful together? We would be happy to provide you with information and paper samples.
