First C2C Certified Office Paper by Van Gansewinkel

Waste management services provider and supplier of raw materials Van Gansewinkel launches its first Cradle-to-Cradle end product: Van Gansewinkel Office Paper. 100% recycled office paper, certified by the scientific Cradle-to-Cradle institute EPEA.

Studies carried out by the German Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IFEU) in Heidelberg (www.ifeu.de) show that Van Gansewinkel Office Paper meets all the requirements for high-quality office paper, but it takes up to 83% less water (79 litres for 1 pack of paper) and 72% less electricity to produce than standard office paper.

The maximum reduction in CO2 emissions is 53%. In addition, no trees have to be cut down for Van Gansewinkel Office Paper, but 1 pack of standard office paper uses up to 7.5 kg of wood. Office paper is already frequently recycled, but usually as newspaper or tissue paper and not office paper. Unnecessarily large amounts of natural resources are still used in the production of high-quality office paper.

For the sale, service and distribution activities related to its office paper, Van Gansewinkel has entered an exclusive partnership agreement with Océ, one of the largest suppliers of professional document management and printing systems in the world.
