Most of the advantages of using paper have to do with the environment. Not only is paper made from a renewable resource, but it can also be recycled and re-used for the production of other paper products.
Paper selected for use at Stenqvist has to meet a number of different criteria. Not only must it be manufactured in accordance with good environmental practices and standards, but it must also have a number of first rate properties in order to be considered suitable. These include even reel quality, runnability, strength and rigidity.
By selecting paper with the correct properties, we minimise material usage during the converting process and maximise eco-efficiency for the entire life cycle of the product. As the strength of paper continues to be developed (today paper is 300% stronger than it was in 1950), other parameters are now determining the amount of paper used in the production of paper carrier bags and other paper based packaging.
