Restrictions looming on award of German Blue Angel label for recycled graphic paper

摘要

The German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) wants to enhance the profile of the Blue Angel environmental certification and is eyeing changes to award criteria for uncoated recycled graphic paper. This restriction for bright-white paper should send a clear message that product sustainability is paramount for this environmental certification. The UBA intends to make this change to strengthen the focus on environmental aspects and allow consumers to better distinguish between primary fibre and recycled paper grades.
