Updated Inclusion range...

Up-Cycling is an increasing trend in the paper industry. This means using waste materials, destined to be thrown away, to create new and valuable objects. Here, we value up-cycling and strongly believe reprocessing raw materials is of great importance to us all, as it will be even more so in the future! Two great examples are grass paper – made from grass waste – and coffee paper – made from coffee waste.

We have an updated swatch showing the range:
Inclusion Coffee has a totally unique look and the obviously recycled character make it the perfect material for both packaging and printing applications that stand out. Upcycled coffee waste and 100% post-consumer recycled paper fibres give it a spectacular visual effect and an overtly recycled character. It has 5% residues from coffee processing added during the papermaking process. This content is comprised of coffee peel, which falls during coffee roasting and is sourced locally to the mill from facilities in Holland and Germany. 
Inclusion Coffee is now available in 100, 120 250 and 350gsm. It is made using 100% recycled, post consumer waste, with the addition of 5% residues from coffee processing, the resulting effect is really unusual as you can see from the image below (biro in shot for scale!) and every sheet is unique.
Inclusion Grass (below pic) contains 30% sun-dried grass and 70% post-consumer recycled paper fibres and is available in 120gsm text weight only...
The sun-dried grass is sourced from fallow land – which is left unplanted for a season resulting in a fast-growing raw material, protecting natural resources and the environment. The grass is turned into pellets which requires less energy, water and chemicals than the production of woodpulp. The grass pellets are produced in Germany ensuring short delivery to European paper mills, reducing CO2 emissions.

As you can see from the images above, the extraordinary use of these inclusions combined with 100% Recycled fibres ensure that every sheet of paper is truly unique - so be warned, the visual effect can and will vary from batch to batch!
