Fibres from responsible sources.
We offer the complete range of products. All of our products are made of fair fibres.
In general, "Fair Fibre" is understood to mean all raw materials that come from responsible sources. The production of hygiene paper primarily involves the use of a suitable paper fibre. We distinguish between primary and secondary fibres, the former being virgin pulp and the latter being recycled fibres. The choice of raw material has a major impact on the environmental footprint of the entire product. In comparison, products made of 100% recycled paper perform best. We consider them to be the most sensible raw material for a disposable product such as hygiene paper, due to the fact that the recycled fibre is irretrievably lost after use. Recycled products are therefore a core element of our "Fair Fibres".
Responsible sources
In addition to the requirements defined by the environmental labels PEFC and FSC® (FSC-C016151), for example, we use our own criteria as a benchmark for the pulp. We also use and verify this on the basis of internal audits conducted by our suppliers. This is how cellulose becomes a fair fibre. With the combination of both raw materials, we developed our "hybrid products" a few years ago. These products have a 20% improved environmental footprint compared to a 100% virgin pulp product, using 30% recycled fibres. This is what we at WEPA understand to be "Fair Fibre" and it is what makes us the ideal partner for sustainable hygiene paper.
