World Environment Day 2025

Today is World Environment Day. This event is the United Nations day for encouraging worldwide awareness and action to protect our environment. Since it began in 1974, the event has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in over 100 countries. Above all, World Environment Day is the "people's day" for doing something to take care of the Earth. That "something" can be local, national or global. It can be a solo action or involve a crowd.

What better day for me to remind you of a material we launched to coincide with COP26.

PaperWise is an entirely new concept, a range of paper and board manufactured from agricultural waste - this is the stems and leaves left over the harvest and which is often left in the field or burnt. There are additional benefits: PaperWise is produced in factories in India and South America that make a big difference to local communities. Investments are made in education, infrastructure, and healthcare while the manufacturing process is geared toward safety, zero waste, and preserving local ecology.

Lifecycle analysis (LCA) conducted by the University of Amsterdam (IVAM) has concluded that the environmental impact is 47% lower than FSC-paper made from trees and 29% lower than recycled paper...

The natural shade, manufactured from 100% agri-waste is also completely unbleached and has lower Co2 emissions than virgin fibre or recycled papers.

The PaperWise range is held in stock by us at Fenner Paper in Tonbridge. European stocks are held in Rotterdam and include a wide range of packaging boards and lightweight papers with food approval, copier paper and even corrugated boards. 

You can read more about this new range HERE and about how this fits with the UN sustainable development goals...

The paper and boards are suitable for all print work and packaging, with a one side coated packaging board up to 465microns.

COP29 starts today

Today, the United Nations Climate change conference, known as COP, launches COP29 at Baku, Azerbaijan in Egypt, attended by leaders of governments, environmental organisations and NGO's. I thought it would be a good day to remind you that it was exactly three years ago, we launched PaperWise, made using 100% agricultural waste, at COP26...

Fenner Paper has launched PaperWise at an online event to coincide with the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. PaperWise is an entirely new concept, a range of paper and board manufactured from agricultural waste - this is the stems and leaves left over the harvest and which is often left in the field or burnt.

At the online launch, Justin Hobson, Marketing Manager at Fenner Paper said “PaperWise users give a second life to agricultural waste. In doing so they lower their ecological footprint, add value to waste, and prevent wastage”

There are additional benefits: PaperWise is produced in factories in India and South America that make a big difference to local communities. Investments are made in education, infrastructure, and healthcare while the manufacturing process is geared toward safety, zero waste, and preserving local ecology.

Lifecycle analysis (LCA) conducted by the University of Amsterdam (IVAM) has concluded that the environmental impact is 47% lower than FSC-paper made from trees and 29% lower than recycled paper...

The paper and boards are suitable for all print work and packaging, with a one side coated packaging board up to 465microns.

In December we will showing PaperWise at the Packaging Innovations Exhibition in Olympia and PaperWise founder Peter van Rosmalen will be there too. You can watch this 1 minute video about PaperWise by Peter here:

Growing Through the Seasons

The "Growing through the Seasons" 2025 calendar, illustrated by Isla Middleton and written by Bryony Middleton, is a guide for gardeners and vegetable lovers. 

It features seasonal illustrations of fruits, vegetables, and flowers, along with practical growing tips for each month, including what to sow and harvest.

The calendars are produced on our PaperWise Natural 150gsm and 295gsm, which is manufactured from 100% agricultural waste - this is the stems and leaves left over the harvest and which is usually left in the field and burnt. You can read all about PaperWise HERE. As you can see from the images PaperWise is a natural shade and is completely unbleached and home compostable too ...a perfect choice for this calendar!

The calendar also includes a full growing chart at the back, providing an overview of the sowing and harvest schedule for the year. 

The calendars are 300mm square in size and are beautifully printed, offset litho by Ashley House Printing in Devon.

Although it's too late for this year, I believe there are plans for a 2025 version, so you can look on the website here: www.islamiddleton.co.uk
