The conscious choice: recycled paper or FSC® paper?

A guide to consciously choosing materials

Contents

Choose recycled paper or FSC® paper?

The main difference between FSC® paper and recycled paper lies in the origin of the paper and its production process.

Certified FSC® paper

The FSC® certification guarantees that the paper used comes from responsibly managed forests, ensuring the sustainable sourcing of the raw material.

Why choose post-it notes and notepads made from FSC® paper by Proramillenote?

The water-based adhesive used in our supply of Post-it notes and the customizations with water-based inks align with the eco-sustainability principles required for FSC® purchases.

Proramillenote is committed to exclusively providing Post-it paper and notepads made from FSC® and recycled FSC® paper by the first quarter of 2025.

If your company certifies the chain of custody, Proramillenote is your ideal partner for supplying Post-it notes and notepads with FSC® certification C204005.

Buying paper is always an environmentally friendly purchase

Recycled paper

Choosing recycled adhesive paper means that the paper used for production is, as the term itself suggests, recycled.

Recycled paper is an eco-friendly product obtained from the recovery of previously used paper to generate new paper. The recycling process significantly reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, where paper, once decomposed, would contribute to methane production.

Recycled paper is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products, such as cartons, newspapers, and other stationery and office items.

It is highly recommended to choose recycled paper made from post-consumer materials, as close to 100% as possible, and therefore made entirely from paper waste. This sustainable choice helps safeguard the environment and conserve natural resources.

Using recycled paper reduces environmental impact and supports a circular economy, promoting a culture of environmental responsibility and conscious resource use.

Promotional items made from recycled paper produced by Proramillenote

The water-based adhesive used in our supplies and the customizations with water-based inks align with the eco-sustainability principles required for responsible purchasing.

An eco-friendly purchase is not necessarily ethical.

When purchasing paper, one is making an eco-friendly purchase by itself. In addition to cost, it is important to consider the social impact of one's choices.

Ethical purchases and eco-friendly purchases

Eco-friendly purchase: reducing the impact on the environment

An eco-friendly purchase refers to products and services that have a reduced environmental impact. This can include products made from sustainable materials, that consume less energy, use less water during production stages, or that are biodegradable. The main goal is to reduce the impact on the environment and promote sustainability

Ethical purchases: responsible business practices.

On the other hand, an ethical purchase focuses on fair and responsible business practices, which can include respecting workers’ rights, supporting local communities, and ensuring transparency in the supply chain. Ethical purchases aim to ensure that the product has been made under fair and sustainable conditions for the people involved in its production.

A product may be environmentally friendly without necessarily adhering to ethical standards.

A product can be eco-friendly without necessarily being ethical: this is often the case for items imported from distant countries with less stringent environmental regulations compared to those in Europe and Italy.

In the case of our productions, this concept is realized as follows:

  1. Eco-Friendly Items:
    Our Post-it cubes, for example, are made from adhesive paper, with a water-based adhesive and non-toxic water-based inks. This approach helps reduce environmental impact with the additional assurance of FSC® certification, regarding materials as well as the protection of populations living near the managed forests.
  2. Ethically Produced Items:
    The production processes of our paper cubes comply with labor regulations, promote employee well-being, and protect the local community around the Arcore (MB – Italy) facility.
  3. Our supply chain is also based on FSC® certified sustainability principles, and Proramillenote is committed to exclusively providing FSC® recycled paper and FSC® Post-it paper by the first quarter of 2025.
