Extensive paper portfolio from Mondi´s Neusiedler mill in Austria is now CO2 neutral

• Mondi’s Uncoated Fine Paper mill in Austria now offers a comprehensive portfolio of CO₂ neutral papers for professional print, office use and premium packaging

• This is in response to growing demand from customers for CO₂ neutral products

• This new offering builds on Mondi Neusiedler´s history of sustainable and CO₂ neutral papers

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, is now offering a comprehensive portfolio of CO₂ neutral papers from its Uncoated Fine Paper business to serve the professional print, office and premium packaging sectors.

Mondi Neusiedler has been offering CO₂ neutral products for over a decade, including Color Copy original and selected products from the NAUTILUS^® range. From April 2021, the mill has extended its offering of CO₂ neutral paper to almost all premium paper brands. This includes Pergraphica^®, Mondi´s premium paper brand for creative design, publishing and luxury packaging applications, combining premium printing and finishing quality with sustainability in one portfolio.

By offering the full PERGRAPHICA^® range as CO₂ neutral, Mondi is meeting the growing demand of customers such as agencies, designers and brand owners for sustainable and CO₂ neutral printing, publishing and packaging products.

The paper´s CO₂ emissions were calculated and offset with the support of Climate Partner and are therefore classified as CO₂ neutral. Mondi’s CO₂ calculations are based on recognized industry standards such as CEPI´s Carbon Footprint Framework for paper and board products. Climate Partner is an international solutions provider for corporate climate action, with whom Mondi has a longstanding relationship.

To offset all calculated CO₂ emissions, Mondi supports the Pesqueiro hydro power plant on the Jaguariaríva River in south Brazil – an internationally recognized carbon offset project. According to Climate Partner´s calculations, for a printed and converted book, paper represents 50-75% of CO₂ emissions. To offer transparency and help customers to highlight their sustainability ambitions, information about the CO₂ neutrality of the products is printed on the packaging and included in customer documents.

Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy and we have a long tradition in offering sustainable papers. In addition to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions in line with science-based targets as part of our 10 year Mondi Action Plan, MAP2030, we are pleased to be able to support our customers on their sustainability journey by offering CO₂ neutral paper and premium packaging. Based on the feedback of our customers we expect to see strong pick up of our extended CO₂ neutral portfolio, Gunilla Saltin, CEO, Uncoated Fine Paper at Mondi.
