If your company uses recycled paper, until recently you only had two options:

1. Use recycled paper, which is often a bit lesser quality than normal printing paper.

2. Buy FSC certified paper (Forest Stewardship Council): this stamp proves the paper comes from timber which is harvested using sustainable methods.

The waste management company Van Gansewinkel, together with printing company Océ and the German paper company Steinbeis, created a new type of printing paper: Van Gansewinkel Office Paper. This paper comes entirely from recycled office paper, which was collected by Van Gansewinkel.

By closing the cycle, Van Gansewinkel creates an innovative solution. Old office paper with confidential info is collected and destroyed by Van Gansewinkel. Afterwards it is shipped to Steinbeis in Germany, where they recreate new office paper out of it. The final step is done by Océ, which sells and distributes this recycled office paper.

For 500 sheets of paper, 7,5 kilo of wood is necessary. This number is reduced to 0 when Van Gansewinkel Office Paper is used. Other important numbers from the production process:

• savings of 79 liter water
• A reduction of 72% electricity
• 53% less CO2 emission
