The circular economy model is a way to transform businesses, promoting the reuse and recycling of materials, prioritising resource efficiency and minimising waste. Our paper portfolio comprises one of the broadest ranges of environmental and eco-responsible papers in the market, including Cradle to Cradle Certified® papers.
What is Cradle to Cradle®?
Cradle to Cradle is a global standard and a respected mark that is based on five requirement categories applied to products made for the circular economy.
The five key requirement categories are:
- Material health
Materials are safe for humans and the environment.
- Product circularity
Enabling a circular economy through regenerative products and process design.
- Water and soil stewardship
Safeguarding clean water and healthy soils.
- Clean air and climate protection
Protecting clean air, promoting renewable energy, and reducing harmful emissions.
- Social fairness
Respecting human rights and contributing to a fair and equitable society.
The Cradle to Cradle Certified Products Program is based on the concept of continuous improvement, with four possible levels of achievement: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Certification is awarded to a product when it meets the requirements for the desired achievement level in each of the five key categories, as well as the other general, packaging, and animal welfare requirements.
