Sustainability & certificates

For our products, this means above all that we avoid chemical or environmentally harmful additives wherever possible. Most of our products are biodegradable. In order to achieve such results, we are breaking new ground with our research and development team and are actively working on the development of new technologies.

The basic material for paper production is natural wood fiber (also known as pulp). We give preference to suppliers who attach importance to the reforestation of forests and bear the FSC® label. This means that the companies are committed to the internationally recognized standards of responsible forest management. A large proportion of our pulp comes from Scandinavia and Canada. In both regions, the labels are regularly checked and the industry is well monitored by the state. However, we cannot rely exclusively on European wood, as it does not fulfill certain properties depending on the required quality of the paper and pulp manufacturers cannot exclusively source FSC wood either.

In the manufacturing process, we work to continuously reduce our resource requirements. The internationally recognized ISO 14001 standard defines the minimum requirements for an environmental management system. ISO 14001 certification therefore means that Swiss Quality Paper meets international environmental management standards.

Various environmental protection measures are defined, implemented and continuously improved within the company. Our main resources for the production of specialty papers are gas, water and electricity.
