Kraft Paper FAQs
Is kraft paper environmentally friendly?
Yes, this type of paper is considered environmentally friendly. It is made from wood pulp, typically sourced from sustainable and renewable forests. The production process of paper uses less harsh chemicals compared to other paper manufacturing methods, making it more environmentally friendly.
Furthermore, most kraft paper is biodegradable and recyclable, which means it can easily break down in the environment and can be reused to make new paper products. Treated papers, like waxed or VCI papers cannot be recycled or biodagraded in the same way.
What is special about kraft paper?
Kraft paper, often simply referred to as “brown paper,” is special for several reasons:
- Environmentally Friendly: Kraft paper is made from wood pulp, typically from softwood trees like pine and spruce. The manufacturing process involves fewer chemicals, and the pulp used often comes from sustainably managed forests.
- Strength and Durability: kraft paper is known for its strength and durability. It has a high tensile strength, making it resistant to tearing and bursting. This makes it an excellent choice for packaging materials, especially for heavy or bulky items.
- Versatility: this paper is highly versatile. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including wrapping, packaging, crafting, and even as a material for disposable tablecloths and bags. Its versatility makes it a popular choice in various industries.
- Recyclability: most kraft paper is easily recyclable. After use, it can be collected and recycled to create new paper products. This promotes a sustainable and circular approach to paper usage.
- Biodegradability: In addition to being recyclable, most kraft paper is biodegradable. When it ends up in the environment, it will naturally break down over time without causing long-lasting harm.
- Cost-Effective: this type of paper paper is often more cost-effective than some other specialty papers, making it an economical choice for businesses.
- Texture and Appearance: Many people appreciate the natural and rustic appearance of this type of paper. Its texture and neutral colour make it an aesthetically pleasing option for various creative projects and packaging designs.
- Customisation: Kraft paper can be easily customised. It can be printed on, coloured, or decorated to meet specific branding or design needs. To discuss your options, contact Macfarlane Packaging.
Due to these qualities, this type of paper remains a popular and versatile choice in the world of packaging, crafting, and eco-conscious product choices.
Can kraft paper be recycled?
Yes, it can be recycled. In fact, it is one of the most recycled paper materials due to its eco-friendly properties. Recycling paper helps reduce the demand for virgin wood pulp, conserving natural resources and energy.
The exception is waxed and VCI kraft paper, which cannot be recycled or biodagraded, because the paper has been treated.
