Paper and board

A key concern for the paper and board industry is the ability to provide high product standards, whilst continuing to be competitive.

Envirowise can work with your organisation to ensure more efficient use of raw materials during the production process, helping to reduce your disposal costs and improve cost efficiency.

Legislative concerns

Increasingly strict environmental legislation affecting the pulp and paper manufacturing processes, coupled with ongoing public concern for both global and local environments present an important case for implementing more environmentally friendly practices.

Aside from avoiding regulatory attention, the ability to demonstrate sound environmental policies to potential customers can often make the difference between winning or losing a contract.
