Mondi: First to offer extensive portfolio of Cradle to Cradle Certified® uncoated fine papers from its European mills

VIENNA (News release) -- Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, received the Cradle to Cradle certification at Bronze level for its uncoated fine papers produced in its mills in Austria, Slovakia and Russia. Mondi is thus the first to offer an extensive uncoated fine paper portfolio as Cradle to Cradle Certified^® meeting the high standards and demanding requirements of this certification scheme which marks the step from a linear to a circular economy. This includes Mondi´s well-known professional printing brands Color Copy and PERGRAPHICA^®, as well as its range of NAUTILUS^® branded recycled papers, and a wide office paper portfolio.

We are proud to kick off the year with this strong sustainability achievement underlining our Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030) commitment to create circular-driven solutions. For many years, Mondi has been a leader, and often a pioneer, in the sustainability of its uncoated fine papers. For example, Color Copy became the world´s first FSC^TMcertified colour laser paper in 2005. Thanks to our new Cradle to Cradle certification our customers have a uniquely wide choice of products to support the environment and contribute to the circular economy without sacrificing on quality or price.
