Follow the thread of sustainability

Bio product

Our paper products are sustainable from start to finish, wherever they may be applied, owing to their natural, renewable and recyclable nature.​​​

They are also sustainable to the very end, due to its recyclable nature, which is unique, since cellulose fibres can be recycled and recovered more than 8 times, giving so many lives to our threads and ropes.

They are sustainable from the beginning, due to its natural contribution to putting a brake on climate change. One kilo of our yarns and cords represents the capture of 1.3 kilos of biogenic CO2 from the environment, thanks to the carbon dioxide sink effect of specific forest plantations for manufacturing paper that are continually regenerated and replanted.

Bi-circularity

Our paper threads and cords are a clear example of the circular economy taken to its maximum expression. 

They present a double circularity; on the one hand, the natural one, owing to the renewable nature of the raw material, the virgin cellulose fibre, which is obtained from European paper forests managed responsibly and with forestry certification, and on the other hand the social one, emerging as a result of the massive recycling of paper mill products, thus obtaining the recycled cellulose fibre. 

We are bi-circular to distinctly respond to the demands of our time.

We certify sustainability

First of all, our forest certification certifies that the management of the forest area from which the wood is obtained to make the paper to then produce our yarns and cords meets all the sustainability criteria, covering the forest inventory, management planning, forestry, utilization, as well as the ecological, economic and social impact of the forestry activities carried out in that area.

Next, when the certified wood enters the industrial process, the chain of custody from the forest to the paper mill and the transformation in our factory is controlled and certified.

All our products follow the forestry and chain of custody certification programs of the “Forest Stewardship Council” (FSC) and the “Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification” (PEFC).

Biodegradable

We are witnessing the worrying consequences of environmental pollution caused by various materials in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and how this negatively affects both flora and fauna, in addition to hindering the development of countries. 

It is worth noting that it cannot be said that a material is inherently good, and that the responsibility for its contamination falls solely on those who do not use it properly or do not dispose of it correctly.

As far as our threads and cords are concerned, they are biodegradable because they are made out of cellulose fibres. This means that, if they were accidentally left in nature, they would decompose naturally over a period of 4 to 6 months, leaving no harmful residues for the environment. 

However, it is essential to promote responsible practices when it comes to these products usage and disposal. The natural life end of our paper yarns and cords is their recovery through recyclability.

Bioproducto

Nuestros productos de papel llevan la sostenibilidad de principio a fin allí donde se aplican, por su carácter natural, renovable y reciclable.​​​

Y hasta el fin, por su carácter reciclable, que es único, ya que las  fibras de celulosa se pueden reciclar y recuperar más de 8 veces, dando tantas vidas a nuestros hilos y cuerdas.

Desde el  principio por su contribución de forma natural al freno del cambio climático. Un kilo de nuestros hilos y cuerdas suponen la captura del medio ambiente de 1.3 kilos de CO2 biógeno, gracias al efecto sumidero de dióxido de carbono de  las plantaciones de bosques específicas para fabricar papel que continuamente se están regenerando y replantando.​​

Bicircular

Nuestros hilos y cuerdas de papel son un claro ejemplo de la economía circular elevada a su máxima expresión.

Presentan una doble circularidad, la natural  por el carácter renovable de su materia prima, la fibra de celulosa virgen, que se obtiene de los  bosques papeleros europeos gestionados de forma responsable y con certificación forestal y la circularidad social producida por  el reciclaje masivo de los productos papeleros, obteniendo de esta manera la fibra de celulosa reciclada.

Somos bicirculares para responder a los nuevos tiempos con diferencia.

Biodegradable

Estamos presenciando las preocupantes consecuencias de la contaminación ambiental ocasionada por diversos materiales en los ecosistemas acuáticos y terrestres, y cómo esto afecta negativamente tanto a la flora como a la fauna, además de obstaculizar el desarrollo de los países.

Es importante destacar que no se puede afirmar que un material sea inherentemente bueno, y que la responsabilidad de su contaminación recae únicamente en aquellos que no lo utilizan adecuadamente o no lo eliminan correctamente.

En el caso de nuestros hilos y cuerdas, al estar compuestos de fibra de celulosa, son biodegradables. Esto significa que, si por accidente quedaran abandonados en la naturaleza, se descompondrían de manera natural en un período de 4 a 6 meses, sin dejar residuos dañinos para el medio ambiente.

Sin embargo, es fundamental promover prácticas responsables en su uso y eliminación. El fin de vida natural de nuestro hilos y cuerdas es su recuperación a través de la  reciclabilidad.
