Sustainably sourced paper
We personally visit our paper mills to learn about the various ways they are contributing to sustainable supply chains and striving to have a positive impact on their local environment.
Responsible Water Use
Paper mills tend to be sited on a river, as historically the running water would power the mill. Today water still plays an important role in the process, as copious amounts of water are needed to mix the pulp and integrate dies in coloured papers, before they are rolled out into smooth sheets.
The mills we work with are sustainably managed, which means they work closely with the Environment Agency, who check that the water is returned to the river as clean or cleaner than when it left.
At the James Cropper Mill in Cumbria, the water they return to the River Kent is so clean that it has crayfish and fresh-water mussels living in it.
