Carbon Balanced Paper:
A new and simple way to
reduce your carbon footprint.

How carbon balancing works

Carbon balancing is a form of carbon offsetting in which you can have total confidence.

Our partner is the World Land Trust, an international conservation charity dedicated to saving threatened habitats and their biodiversity. Sir David Attenborough OM, CH, FRS is among its Patrons, and its integrity and credibility provide customers using Carbon Balanced Paper with complete peace of mind.

Carbon Balancing by the World Land Trust tackles climate change through projects that both offset carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and conserve biodiversity.

Through land purchase of ecologically important standing forests under threat of clearance, carbon is locked that would otherwise be released. These protected forests are then able to continue absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. Referred to as REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), this is now recognised as one the most cost-effective and swiftest ways to arrest the rise in atmospheric CO2 and global warming effects.

Carbon Balanced Paper has, with the World Land Trust, already protected 1440 acres of threatened forest and natural habitat, that’s equivalent to 720 football pitches.

If you want to do more, specify paper that’s been carbon balanced.
