Eco-Calculator to be showcased at Sustainable Brands London
Arjowiggins Graphic, the leading manufacturer of recycled papers, will promote it’s Eco-Calculator at Sustainable Brands London (16-18 November 2015).
As an official event sponsor, Arjowiggins Graphic will join thought leaders, brand innovators, and business leaders from nearly 30 countries to explore global trends and new influences relevant to sustainability. The event will provide an opportunity for Arjowiggins Graphic to showcase it’s pioneering Eco-Calculator to leading brands in attendance including Unilever, IKEA UK & Ireland, Barclays, Disney, L’Oréal.
The Eco-Calculator provides users of recycled paper with an ‘Environmental Benefit Statement’ (EBS) that shows the amount of landfill, CO2 and greenhouse gases, water, electricity and wood that have been saved by opting to use Arjowiggins Graphic recycled paper over paper produced from virgin fibres. It also allows customers to feature the acclaimed WWF logo as part of the Environmental Benefit Statement.
Following the recent publication of it’s Sustainable Development Report, the company has been able to quantify savings it has made for UK customers, based on their purchases of recycled rather than virgin fibre paper, over the last five years. These include savings of
- 246 million kg of landfill,
- 37.5 million kg of CO2,
- 8 billion litres of water,
- 636 million KWhs of energy
- 400 million kg of wood.
Angela De Vorchik, Operational Marketing Manager for Arjowiggins Graphic UK says,
“Increased awareness of climate change and CSR means businesses are more driven than ever to showcase their environmental credentials. We want to support companies in reducing the impact on the environment and with EBS encourage more business to showcase their environmental savings by using recycled paper”.
