3. What are the eco-friendly trends & option

that we will see this year?

There’s already been a marked interest in handmade papers since the beginning of

this year. Our customers are frequently asking about recycled paper options, or
opting for papers made in a less harmful way. We need to see more options out there;
colour plans have been working with half recycled pulp for their papers for years, and
the introduction of their new range of recycled coffee cup papers is a brilliant step in
the right direction. We’re also seeing more natural earthy colours used for papers, less
bleached or highly chemically processed colours, dyes that hopefully do less damage to
the environment. There’s also been some interest in naturally made inks. It’s very exciting
and we’re hoping that more people show an interest in sustainable options, to push the
market in a more eco direction.
