Our Environmental Commitment

B&F Papers are committed to being an environmentally responsible company. Our Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certifications are only some of the steps we have taken to provide you with paper that has been sourced from well managed and sustainable forests. All our warehouse locations are purpose built with the emphasis on natural lighting and water conservation. We go to great lengths to recycle our paper off-cuts, as well as our ream and pallet wrapping. All our pallets are returnable and are used many times.

 

There are two sides to every story, paper supports the environment in so many ways. Click to visit the Two Sides website and see the story for yourself.

 

By choosing paper as your media for communication you are taking steps towards supporting your environment. If paper was invented today it would be hailed as environmentally friendly and an affordable means of communication. B&F Papers has taken steps to provide you with choices, and to ensure that you are informed of the environmental credentials of your paper. We have a full range of environmentally sound papers. From Cocoon Offset a FSC certified 100% recycled paper that ticks almost every environmental box, from being collected carbon neutral to using absolutely no chlorine at all in its manufacture. Through to our commodity art paper Neo that is FSC certified from a well managed forest and is elemental chlorine free.

FSC & PEFC are chain of custody (CoC) certifications we carry so we can supply to you products certified by these bodies as made from well managed or sustainable forests. Click on the logos to the right of the screen to find out more.

 

The New Addition to the B&F team

“Kia ora!  I am the B&F Kiwi. My name is Whiturau and it means 700 in Maori – I was the 700th kiwi chick to hatch at my home at Rainbow Springs in Rotorua. B&F Papers sponsored my hatching, and I am very grateful to be bought into the world in such a great facility. This photo of me is when I was just one day old.  I hatched on the 24th of February 2009 with no problems, and I weighed 253.6g. It’s hard to tell if I am a boy or a girl at the moment, so before I am released, one of my feathers will be sent away so I can be sexed by my DNA!  Once I have grown to about 1kg I will be released back into the forest in the Ohope region where my Dad is from.”
