Beswick Paper takes sole supplier deal for Sappi's eco-friendly art stock

Papermaker Sappi has tied with Beswick Paper to supply the South African manufacturer's new eco-friendly coated art paper, Triple Green.

The stock contains 60% Bagasse, the dry fibrous biomass left over from pulped sugar cane stalks.

Bagasse is said to be highly biodegradable and has a low lignin content, so requires less bleaching than pulp extracted from trees.

Triple Green pulp is also accredited to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

The stock, which is available ream wrapped or bulk packed exclusively through Beswick Paper, comes in sizes SRA2 and SRA1 and in weights of 115, 135, 150, 170, 250 and 300gsm.
