Sustainable printing

During our search for paper for sustainable printing we came into contact with Value shifters, they give a new purpose to residual flows.

One of their projects is:

paper with grass from bee-friendly Dutch

roadsides

By using roadside grass as a raw material for paper, the residual flow is reduced and the stored CO is released²not free in the grass clippings. The grass clippings are dried and ground in-house at Waardewenders before being further processed.
Because the clippings do not remain on the roadsides, the soil remains poor and offers opportunities for a wider variety of flowers, herbs and grasses. It provides nourishment and protection for all kinds of animals. The insects are on the menu of birds, bats and small mammals. In addition, herb-rich soils retain water better due to more complex root structures and the subsoil remains firmer. And when the flowers and herbs have finished blooming, they are mowed again and used as raw material for new paper.

From Dutch soil

With roadside grass fibers from and production on Dutch soil, there is less transport and minimal CO2 emissions.

Durable

By reusing waste paper and adding roadside grass, fewer trees are needed for this paper with a NL Greenlabel A sustainability passport.

Visible fibers

No chemical processes are used to bleach the paper and the roadside grass fibers are subtly visible in the paper.

Responsible

The roadside grass fibers as raw material for paper come from ecologically managed roadsides. This means that the roadsides are not mowed weekly, but herbs are given the opportunity to bloom. This allows insects and small animals to survive on the roadside. Also, the entire verge is not mowed at once, but part of the vegetation remains. This creates a better living environment for butterflies and bees.
