GMUND BIO CYCLE - Contributing to a Better World

Conservation of natural resources and environmental responsibility were top priorities when the paper experts at Lake Tegernsee developed these new papers.

The specialists wanted to use rapidly growing fibres to replace half of the wood that comprises the raw material for these papers. After countless tests of machines and materials, the experts developed new papers that embody timeless beauty and an outstanding ecological balance. Users of Gmund Bio Cycle paper get genuine added value in design, haptics, story and credibility.

This collection is perfect for companies that want to express

their green philosophy through the papers they choose for their packaging, brochures or print communication. When it comes to sustainability, the specialists at Gmund offer the very highest standard. Customers not only like the look and feel of these papers, they also appreciate the good feeling they get from knowing that their choice of paper has taken ecological balance into consideration.

The innovative papers in the Bio Cycle collection contain up to 50% alternative ingredients, augmented with fresh-fibre cellulose that’s always FSC® certified at Gmund. The collection also includes an ecological classic made from 100% recycled paper.

Gmund Bio Cycle Chlorophyll

Grass cut from Upper Bavarian meadows provides half of the contents of this paper. The grass is painstakingly harvested and dried to achieve the long-fibered structure that’s indispensable for a voluminous paper. Grass grows everywhere. The ecological balance is unbeatable. The paper is radiant with a vivid green colour created in part by adding natural chlorophyll. An impressively heavy weight of 600 g/m2 makes this paper ideal for letterpress or silkscreen printing.
