GMUND BIO CYCLE - Contributing to a Better World
|
Conservation of natural resources and environmental responsibility were the top priorities when Gmund’s paper experts at Lake Tegernsee developed the Bio Cycle range. The raw materials used in the Bio Cycle range are quick growing (compared to wood). They were chosen for their sustainability, low water and chemical use. Years of research and development, testing different materials and printing methods lead to a range that embodies timeless beauty and an outstanding ecological balance. |
The Gmund Bio Cycle range is perfect for anyone who wants to express their green philosophy through the papers they choose for their designs. The innovative papers in the Gmund Bio Cycle range contain up to 50% environmentally friendly fibres: wheat straw, grass, and cannabis (hemp), blended with fresh-fibre cellulose that’s always FSC® certified at Gmund. The range also includes Bio Cycle Cycle which is made from 100% recycled cellulose fibres. |

Gmund Bio Cycle Chlorophyll
There's 50% gorgeous, green grass cut from Upper Bavarian meadows in Chlorophyll - you can even smell it! The grass is painstakingly harvested and dried creating long, soft fibres resulting in a heavily textured and flecked paper. Grass is a very sustainable source and one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. This stock is a radiant, vivid green created from the naturally high chlorophyll levels in grass.

Printing this paper or card with other commercial or domestic digital print machines
If you choose to purchase our paper or card stocks to print elsewhere, we cannot guarantee the printed results. Paper is a natural, delicate product which will always vary slightly batch to batch and every printer/press is different. Many 'home' printers aren’t suitable for printing on textured stocks or thicker than 120gsm, so we strongly recommend test printing first.
