The Environment - Packaging needn't cost the earth
Ranpak paper is environmentally friendly because:
- it is pure Kraft paper using no bleach or hazardous substances during manufacture
- it uses the least amount of energy in its processing and disposal
- it releases minimal emission of gasses during these processes
- it comes from a natural, renewable, harvested source
- it provides a single packaging component, which when used with cardboard boxes, makes it easy for customers to recycle
- it reduces landfill being fully biodegradable, decomposable and recyclable
How Ranpak paper can help you fulfill your environmental obligations
| Carbon neutral | CO² that is emitted during the production and processing of paper, is absorbed by its natural source, trees, as they grow |
| No hazardous substances | Ranpak Kraft paper is a very clean, very pure material and does not contain any harmful additives |
| Easy to recycle | Waste paper collection and recycling is well established in the UK, and is even easier when packaging materials such as cardboard boxes which have the same base material (mono- packaging) |
| Renewable resource | trees used in the manufacture of Ranpak paper come from forests where more trees are planted than are harvested, with the newly-planted trees absorbing even more CO² than those they have replaced |
| FSC Guarantee | Ranpak only works with virgin paper suppliers that are FSC certified. The Forest Stewardship Council ensures that the forests are managed so that their biodiversity and ecology are fully maintained |
