The concept of sustainability has its roots in forest management. In 1713, in Germany, the word “sustainability” was first used to describe the responsible and long-term use of wood as a natural resource. This idea evolved into the modern concept of sustainable forest management, aiming to ensure that forests remain a vital source of resources for future generations while preserving biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Sustainable forest management is not just about caring for trees but also maintaining the productivity, regeneration, and stability of interconnected ecosystems that depend on them. To ensure this commitment, quality certifications such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) have become the gold standards. These certifications guarantee that the wood used to produce paper bags comes from responsibly managed forests.
How does sustainability work?
Making full use of resources is a fundamental pillar of sustainability. By using wood to produce paper instead of relying on fossil-based raw materials, we reduce our environmental impact while aligning production with a truly renewable approach. Paper can be recycled more than 50 times, reinforcing its crucial role in the circular economy.

Innovation rooted in tradition
Although sustainability might seem like a recent concept, the paper industry has been working for centuries to optimize natural resources and minimize environmental impact. Today, this commitment remains essential to ensuring a future in harmony with our environment.
Did you know that sustainability in the paper industry has more than 300 years of history? Every time you choose a paper bag, you are part of this tradition that transforms and preserves.
