Business eco-standards and commitments

Committed beyond the eco-standards of the paper products

Paper is one of the oldest and more reliable materials ever. It’s a naturally biodegradable product and does not generate polluting waste. “In Europe, 74% of paper consumption was recycled in 2020, making it one of the most recycled of all materials”. ¹

Today, using paper can still be seen as a responsible conduct: Over 70% of the paper is recycled and can be recycled up to 7 times. ²

Antalis has always been committed to establishing itself as an undisputed eco-responsible leader in the paper industry, by setting clear and readable standards, while pushing towards more innovations and responsible practices.

Our environmental approach

As a leading paper merchant, Antalis works closely with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to combine innovation, customer added-value benefit and highest credentials.

We are committed to offer you a wide range of papers and paper specialties; our key focus is to continuously select and offer more eco-responsible paper solutions.
