What is carbon neutral paper?
Carbon neutral paper means the paper has been manufactured by a paper mill that has programs in place to measure, minimise and/or offset all of their carbon emissions to a rating of zero. K.W.Doggett Fine Paper offer a selection of carbon neutral papers, including Expression Super Smooth, Concept Vellum, Conqueror, Kaskad, Cambric Linen, Enhance Silk and Impact. As an example, Impact is manufactured carbon neutral and delivered to K.W.Doggett Fine Paper warehouses nationally. (see What is carbon neutral?).
Carbon neutral is an emerging trend for both companies and individuals around the world. When you add polluting emissions to the atmosphere, you can effectively subtract them by purchasing carbon offset credits. These carbon offsets fund additive, emission–free energy projects such as wind farms and solar installations. By purchasing these credits, companies and individuals can apply them against their own emissions and reduce their net carbon impact. The terms sound easy: “going carbon neutral” or “having a carbon footprint of zero” but it is a rigorous process. Carbon neutral describes an entity which has had its carbon dioxide emissions 1) calculated 2) reduced where possible and 3) offset through the purchase of real, verified, and additional carbon offset credits. In addition to purchasing enough Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to match 100% of the electricity used in our operations, the thermal energy used in the manufacture of several grades is offset with Verified Emission
