  • Mondi’s Uncoated Fine Paper mill in Austria now offers a comprehensive portfolio of CO 2 neutral papers for professional print, office use and premium packaging
  • This is in response to growing demand from customers for CO 2 neutral products
  • This new offering builds on Mondi Neusiedler´s history of sustainable and CO 2 neutral papers

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, is now offering a comprehensive portfolio of CO 2 neutral papers from its Uncoated Fine Paper business to serve the professional print, office and premium packaging sectors.

Mondi Neusiedler has been offering CO 2 neutral products for over a decade, including Color Copy original and selected products from the NAUTILUS ® range. From April 2021, the mill has extended its offering of CO 2 neutral paper to almost all premium paper brands. This includes Pergraphica ® , Mondi´s premium paper brand for creative design, publishing and luxury packaging applications, combining premium printing and finishing quality with sustainability in one portfolio. By offering the full PERGRAPHICA ® range as CO 2 neutral, Mondi is meeting the growing demand of customers such as agencies, designers and brand owners for sustainable and CO 2 neutral printing, publishing and packaging products.

The paper´s CO 2 emissions were calculated and offset with the support of ClimatePartner and are therefore classified as CO 2 neutral. Mondi’s CO 2 calculations are based on recognised industry standards such as CEPI´s Carbon Footprint Framework for paper and board products. ClimatePartner is an international solutions provider for corporate climate action, with whom Mondi has a longstanding relationship. To offset all calculated CO 2 emissions, Mondi supports the Pesqueiro hydro power plant on the Jaguariaríva River in south Brazil – an internationally recognised carbon offset project. According to ClimatePartner´s calculations, for a printed and converted book, paper represents 50-75% of CO 2 emissions. To offer transparency and help customers to highlight their sustainability ambitions, information about the CO 2 neutrality of the products is printed on the packaging and included in customer documents.

Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy and we have a long tradition in offering sustainable papers. In addition to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in line with science-based targets as part of our 10 year Mondi Action Plan, MAP2030, we are pleased to be able to support our customers on their sustainability journey by offering CO 2 neutral paper and premium packaging. Based on the feedback of our customers we expect to see strong pick up of our extended CO 2 neutral portfolio.
