Sustainability
Respecting the environment is one of our main focus pointsOur primary materials such as paper and cardboard are sourced from sustainable planting and cutting cycles. As a result of this choice, our company has decided to conform with the FSC's certification (Forest Stewardship Council)
It is estimated that it takes about 5% of a tree to produce a stack of paper (500 sheets). What is often ignored is that when a tree is cut, it is almost entirely used. Every part is used in order to extract the most value. The most imporant parts are used in the construction of houses or furniture
The other parts are used to produce cellulose, and is then transformed into paper, cardboard or fabrics.
The branches of trees, alongside the residues of the foresting industry, are used to produced Biofuels and other derivatives.

Recycling may seem like a recent idea, and yet the first book printed on recycled paper was published in 1801. It was named “Historical account of the substances that have been used to describe events, and to convey ideas from the earliest date to the invention of paper”. It was written and printed by Matthias Koops in London, UK. The book was about the materials utilised to store information. Its second edition displayed “Printed on Paper re-made from old printed and written paper”. Making it the first known book to be printed on recycled paper
