The WWF Guide to Buying Paper

From packaging paper to office paper and tissues, the new WWF Guide to Buying Eco Friendly Paper makes it easy and straightforward for any organization to source responsibly produced paper products for their business needs and to reduce their ecological footprint.

It includes practical tips covering the environmental issues of responsible forest management, efficient paper use, pollution and global warming and includes the easy to use WWF Paper Scorecard to evaluate the environmental performance of paper suppliers across these themes. Paper buyers should ask their suppliers to rate themselves using the Scorecard and share the results.

The need for a buyers’ guide to responsible paper purchasing and use emerged from a “think tank” with the major paper buyers Canon, IKEA, Lafarge, McDonald’s and Unilever. WWF, with years of experience on responsible purchasing strategies for paper and wood products through the WWF Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN), has developed the paper guide to respond to this need.
