Paper

The Practical Printer has a responsible approach to buying paper.

We are committed to supplying paper with the highest environmental, ethical and social credentials.

All of our paper suppliers comply with national and international legislation appertaining to trade and forest products.
It is an important factor that they are as sound and committed as we are in this area.

As a company that uses paper, we are aware of the damage that has been inflicted over the years by illegal logging of trees, so it is in our interest to seek evidence of environmentally sound business practices from our suppliers. The most effective way to guarantee that the paper products come from legal and sustainable sources is to source them from certified paper mills and merchants, who in turn, source them from certified forests. This is where the chain of custody comes into place.

Chain of Custody certification ensures that a timber-based product with FSC or PEFC (or both) can be traced from forest to end user.

We are currently working towards gaining FSC and PEFC accreditation. For more information about FSC and PEFC please use the links to the left.
