The board and paper merchant said it reached the quarter of a million mark towards the end of January 2025.
Carbon Balanced Paper allows organisations to reduce the carbon impacts of their printed media and communications.
The scheme supports the activities of the World Land Trust (WLT), namely the protection, conservation and regeneration of some of the planet’s most important forests and biodiversity, as well as protecting the habitats of a number of critically endangered species.
The scheme enables a direct investment into the World Land Trust projects. In return, customers can use the new WLT Carbon Balanced logo as well as an official WLT certificate to confirm the carbon savings and the amount of conservation land that has been protected.
Catherine Barnard, CEO of the World Land Trust, commented: “The global climate is changing at an unprecedented rate due to human-created climate change. So, we are delighted to see that Denmaur celebrate this achievement as part of their contribution to society’s transition to a low-carbon economy.”
Many of the products within Denmaur’s stock portfolio are Carbon Balanced at source, including the Amadeus and Revive ranges. Here, the mill of manufacture funds the cost of offsetting and so there is no additional cost to the customer at point of sale.
Denmaur said all other paper and board products purchased from the business can be Carbon Balanced very easily and at a very affordable cost.
Danny Doogan, Denmaur’s marketing and sustainability director, said: “It gives us great pride at Denmaur to have achieved this level of Carbon Balanced Paper sales in just under nine years of working with the World Land Trust.”
He added the scheme’s popularity had “grown significantly” in recent years among printers and end users who use Carbon Balanced Paper to complement their own carbon reduction programmes.
Denmaur said its 250,000 tonnes of Carbon Balanced Paper sales equates to the removal of 152,000 tonnes of atmospheric carbon emissions as well as protecting 6,835 acres of critically threatened forestry.
The current Carbon Balanced Paper projects are now in Uganda, Mexico, and Guatemala.
