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.

The humble #egg carton was invented in 1911 by newspaper editor Joseph Coyle of Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, to solve a dispute between a local farmer and hotel owner in Aldermere, near present-day Telkwa, over the farmer's eggs' often being delivered broken. 🥚

When we begin to see plantation forests as tree farms or crops, we can appreciate the products, economic and environmental service they provide. Sustainable forestry ensures that the renewable resource of wood is produced responsibly.

By using South African produced paper, you can be assured that it comes from sustainably farmed trees. The trees used to make this paper have been replaced by new trees. And always recycle your paper. It is used to make tissue and packaging products!

Moulded paper fibre keeps eggs cushioned, coffee from spilling over and electronic goods protected. These packaging products are made from recycled fibre so keep them in the recycling loop by keep your paper and boxes clean, dry and separate! ♻️

(Some collectors might not take these items for recycling but you can use these in compost, for planting seeds and for paper crafts.)

🧻 Did you know that South African toilet paper manufacturers make use of recycled office paper in many of their tissue recipes? 📄 Recycled white paper is a valuable grade for collectors so think before you throw. Keep it clean, dry and separate from other waste and recyclables.

For the South African pulp and paper sector, responsibly sourced woodfibre is a non-negotiable.

This is why “Forests for All Together” - @fsc_international’s theme for this year’s #fscfriday - means so much.

As a sector we are celebrating the importance of bringing people together to responsibly care for forests – from environmentalists to big business, from Indigenous Peoples to communities and governments, from forest workers to careful consumers, it is essential that we work together to care for our forests.

Buy locally produced paper as far as possible and check the source.
