Paper is a cultural asset that humankind has known and valued for over 2,000 years. It remains relevant even in times of digitalisation. In order to protect the forest and the climate, it is important to not only use it sparingly, but also to choose paper with the smallest ecological footprint: recycled paper with the Blue Angel.

Compared to virgin fibre paper, recycled paper saves 78 percent water, 68 percent energy and 15 percent CO2 emissions during production. Moreover, recycled paper with the Blue Angel promotes the sustainable circular economy and contributes to preserving the biodiversity of our planet. Recycled paper with the Blue Angel reduces the ecological footprint and makes a clear statement in support of the environment and sustainability.
