PAPYRUS & the Environment

Paper

Papyrus papers are made from fiber harvested using sustainable forest management. Sustainable forest management means the environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of forests for present and future generations.

Inks

All Papyrus cards are printed with soy-based inks. Soy-based inks are made from soybean oil, a renewable resource. Unlike petroleum-based inks, Soy inks have low levels of volatile organic compounds which help to reduce air pollution during printing. Soy inks also respond to de-inking better than petroleum based inks, and facilitate the making of paper waste into recycled paper.
