Picture
Carbon Offsetting
This is a simple and economical way to offset the carbon generated in the production of our paper and board products, using our Carbon Offsetting scheme, for every tonne of CO2 that we offset, one tree will be planted in the UK.

Picture
Blue Angel
The Blue Angel is an environmental label organised by the federal government of Germany for the protection of people and the environment. It sets very exacting standards, is independent and has proven itself over more than 40 years as a guide for selecting environmentally-friendly products.

Compostable
Products marked as compostable should fully biodegrade without adversely affecting the natural environment. Because soiled compostable food packaging does not need to be cleaned in order to be processed, composting offers consumers an easier, simpler alternative to recycling. By providing compostable food packaging - including compostable food labels - and raising awareness of various composting opportunities, businesses can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease energy use, and save on overall material costs.

IS0 14001
An international voluntary standard for environmental management system. The overall aim of ISO 14001 is to support environmental protection and prevention of pollution in balance with socio-economic needs.

EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme)
A voluntary European management standard similar to ISO 14001. However, participating companies must not only conform to the environmental management system but also produce a public statement on performance verified by an external assessor.
