Packaging for a sustainable world
Paper is the natural choice
The world is fast turning to paper as the natural packaging choice:
-
Paper is the ultimate renewable rescource
-
Sustainable forests are carbon neutral
-
New Zealand recycles 73% of all paper and we are amongst the world leaders
-
New Zealand's forest production is 99% from sustainable and renewable plantations
Paper makes economic sense
Forestry and wood processing represent 4% of New Zealand's GDP and recycled and recovered paper is a valuable trade-able commodity, contributing to New Zealand's economy. Wood used for a variety of packaging papers effectively uses up low value forest waste to make valuable products.
Becoming sustainable is easy
Choosing paper products is an easy way to be sustainable. Trees are essential in the fight against climate change and harvesting older trees allows young trees to grow by capturing CO
2 from the atmosphere. Paper fibres can be recycled from 3 to 5 times.
Adding value
Using paper is not only environmentally responsible it is also fashionable. Boutiques and stores pack goods in stylish wrapping paper. Most dairy, fruit and manufactured goods exported from New Zealand are contained, protected and presented in innovative, cost effective sustainable packaging. Spec Papers can even print your own branded wrapping paper to your specifications.
