Ecological papers & technical specifications
At Perrakis Papers, we are committed to keeping the planet alive. Therefore, we believe in the minimum footprint of paper production on the environment. The sustainability of materials and the reduction of energy consumption, are processes of vital importance. Our papers have international ecological certifications and for every single paper there is a specific ecological certification, of certain characteristics. For instance, for every single tree that we cut, we are planting at its place, six new trees. Sustainable behaviour is not just a trend but a way of life. Caring for the environment is a matter of social responsibility and awareness and it is a one way trend that will become a way of life with environmental legislation of stringent standards. Therefore, brands do invest in this philosophy and mix design with sustainability by choosing paper packaging.
