Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday, a traditional feast Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday, a traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday, was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast of 40 days leading up to Easter. Turns out that pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients! 

We're glad that our product - paper - is a part of this feast too! In recipes, egg boxes and paper packaging... 

Pass the syrup, please.

Women account for less than 30% of researchers wor Women account for less than 30% of researchers worldwide while UNESCO data suggests that only about 30% of all female students choose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields at a tertiary level. 

Today, on #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, we acknowledge the many women in our sector who are making a difference using a renewable resource - farmed trees and farmed wood - to make our lives better, our jobs easier and our world more sustainable.

Happy reading! Whether it's World Read Aloud Day, Happy reading! Whether it's World Read Aloud Day, the weekend or a weekday, reading makes everything better - except reading bad news! Add some cheer and delight with a good book; even better if that book is made from paper. Here are some of our favourites.
It's #WorldReadAloudDay tomorrow (5 February). Wha It's #WorldReadAloudDay tomorrow (5 February). What are you going to be reading aloud for the #wradchallenge2021. The Gruffalo by #JuliaDonaldson, or The Wonky Donkey by @thewonkydonkeyman? What about something scrumdiddlyumptious from The BFG by #RoaldDahl? Either way, reading aloud is so important as children learn from seeing and hearing. Get them in on the action and have them read a paragraph or get the littlies to point out words or letters they know.

Does papermaking cause deforestation? We get ask Does papermaking cause deforestation? 

We get asked this question a lot. The simple answer is no. In South Africa, trees are grown in sustainable rotations and only a small percentage (less than 10%) of the total area harvested each year. Harvested plots will be replanted with new trees in the same year, making the process sustainable with thousands of hectares of trees of different ages growing all the time. 

This is VERY different to deforestation which is the removal of trees - without replanting - for the likes of urban development (shopping malls, our homes, office parks) and agriculture.
