Shiro paper

by Favini · Italy · ONA648 · Published 27 Jun 2017
About this material

tree free paper of recyled waste

Shiro paper is ideal for businesses with a strong corporate environmental policy using renewable non-tree biomass and recycled waste. All three papers in the range print beautifully, crafted for demanding print jobs.

Shiro Alga Carta began life as a way to use the damaging algal blooms of the Venice lagoon. Today this concept has been extended to other fragile marine areas.

Shiro Tree Free uses the fibres from annual plants such as bamboo, cotton or bagasse. Because there is no tree content, there is no FSC certification.

Shiro Echo is the highest quality recycled paper. Produced from 100% post consumer recycled waste.
