Koehler Paper has taken a further step towards achieving its sustainability goals by signing up to the Thuringia Sustainability Agreement, an alliance between the Government of the State of Thuringia and companies in the region.
This alliance brings together politicians, public services and businesses around issues relating to climate and environmental protection, resource efficiency, energy efficiency and social sustainability. Koehler is hoping that this network for sustainable management will allow the partners to mutually support each other in achieving their policy and business objectives in relation to climate protection.
The art of paper-making has been going on in Greiz for more than 400 years. Koehler is transforming this tradition into a sustainable operation through innovation and a sustainable approach. High-quality packaging solutions are now being produced using the premium recycled paper from Koehler Paper, which is manufactured at the site in Thuringia. The paper, made from 100% secondary fibre material, not only boasts the ‘Blue Angel’ and EU ecolabel, but also stands out thanks to its quality, natural feel and vibrant colour.
There is increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions from the market and consumers, which has meant that Koehler Paper’s product range has been continuously expanded in recent years. ‘We see ourselves as a technology driver. We’re always on the lookout for alternative raw materials and effective resources that can be used for paper production,’ said Udo Hollbach, managing director of the Koehler Paper Greiz site. ‘Using silphie fibres in combination with wastepaper is another great solution for pushing a circular economy when it comes to packaging, for example.’
