Fact or pulp fiction
This guide should help you select the right paper for your office and supply the facts about the paper industry. Too many myths cloud the truth about an industry at the forefront of the global green revolution.
The paper industry is often accused of mass deforestation and of having an adverse impact on the environment. We would like to demonstrate that paper isn’t the enemy of the environment. Yes, trees are used in its production, energy is consumed and too often waste paper ends up in landfill, but it is also one of the few truly renewable, recyclable raw materials on Earth!
We have listed some of the most commonly asked questions about paper and its production and answered them for you.
Paper is always a highlighted item amongst office supplies expenditure. So having spent many years reducing the impact our businesses have on the environment and sourcing products that are environmentally sensitive, how do we maintain these standards whilst responding to the current pressure to cut costs further?

We have reduced the carbon footprint of this paper further by organising all shipments to be delivered direct from the mill to Almo. We want to help you buy paper without it costing the Earth...
