World Environment Day 2024
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.

The creative studio of Sina Luck has received international recognition, won design prizes by ADC Switzerland, and has been featured in magazines such as Grand Designs, Enki Magazine, Ideal Home, Homes and Gardens, Living etc. Sina Luck helps clients across the UK and internationally with multi-sensory interior and graphic design projects.
Sina Luck designed the branding and beautiful packaging design for this new candle and home fragrance brand Restore Home and Organics which includes the packaging for their range of candles. The size of the carton is 90mm x 92mm x 102mm.
The cartons are produced on our PaperWise Natural 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. PaperWise is produced in factories in India and South America that make a big difference to local communities with investments made in education, infrastructure, and healthcare. 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... 
The carton is very simply printed offset litho in one colour and blind embossed on the lid. The labels are hand applied to indicate the various different blends.
The cartons are produced by specialist carton and boxmaker Custom Cartons who are based in Romford, Essex and they have made a beautiful job of it.
Grateful thanks to Sina Luck for providing me with the images. Photography by Kathryn Taylor.

Sustainability in packaging report
In a new survey conducted in the US by McKinsey & Company on Sustainable Packaging, the headline is that consumers are willing to pay more for eco-friendly packaging...
Among consumers in the United States, five key findings emerge:
- Price, quality, and convenience are still consumers’ top buying criteria for products, while environmental impact continues to be one of the lowest-ranked factors (however, this is not true for all consumer groups).
- While respondents named hygiene, food safety, and shelf life as the most important characteristics for product packaging when making a purchase, 43 percent of consumers still say environmental impact is an extremely or very important packaging characteristic when making purchasing decisions. That said, the overall relative importance of environmental factors for consumers has decreased somewhat.
- Among concerned consumers, the impact of ocean litter has become the primary environmental issue across all generations, regions, and neighborhoods; all other concerns have decreased in importance since 2020.
- Most consumers do not have a strong understanding of which packaging types are more sustainable but seem to favor compostable and plant-based packaging.
- Most consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable packaging. In fact, in each end-use category surveyed, 4 to 7 percent of consumers are willing to pay a premium well above 10 percent.
The key takeaway from their survey is that winning in sustainable packaging in the US market will require a granular approach. Done right, products with clear environmental credentials are clearly outgrowing their peers. However, there is no universal solution.

2022 World Cup Wallchart
As we count down to the opening match of the 2022 World Cup, I’m pleased to show our typographic wallchart for recording the action.
The tournament kicks off on November 20th at the Al Bayt Stadium when the hosts Qatar take on Equador. 32 teams play in 8 groups and it will be the first time the event is played in the Middle East.
We have sent out a number of these wallcharts to our football loving design clients, but if you want to make absolutely sure you get a copy, you can email me justin@fennerpaper.co.uk
Despite more than a few eyebrows being raised when Qatar was awarded the privilege of hosting the World Cup, football fans have hailed this as an important one as it’s likely to be the last that the greats like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will compete in.
This beautifully designed typographic wallchart is by David Coates, who also happens to be a member of the ISTD board (International Society of Typographic Designers) and my thanks to Dave for making it all happen - a perfect way to combine his love of type and football!
The wallcharts are printed by Identity Printers on our lovely PaperWise Natural 90gsm made using 100% agricultural waste and completely unbleached! The size is 880 x 315mm. Typeface used is Foundry Unie by The Foundry Types.

One year on ...now it's COP27
Today, the United Nations Climate change conference, known as COP, launches COP27 at Sharm el-Sheikh 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 a year 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...
