Sustainability & Certificates

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

The basic material for paper production is natural wood fibre (also called 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 recognised 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 supervised by the government. However, we cannot rely exclusively on European woods because, depending on the quality of the paper required, they do not meet certain properties and pulp manufacturers cannot source FSC wood exclusively either.

In the manufacturing process, we work to continuously reduce the need for resources. The internationally recognised ISO 14001 standard sets out the minimum requirements for an environmental management system. ISO 14001 certification therefore means that Swiss Quality Paper meets international standards in environmental management.

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