UPM, Helsinki, Finland, has launched three new products in its cutsize paper range. The three new products—a paper made from 100% recycled fibers, a high performance color print paper with improved whiteness, and a light and bulky 70 gsm paper—are manufactured according to existing social and ecological principles. They all have the EU Ecolabel, as well as PEFC or FSC forest certifications.
UPM Office Recycled premium is a high white paper made from 100% recycled fiber. It is suitable for laser printers, inkjet printers, and copiers as well as fax machines. Improved UPM DIGI Color laser now has a whiteness level of CIE 172, a significant improvement for this grade. It is available in an expanded range from 80-300 gsm, and features high smoothness and good formation. In addition to the standard sizes A4, A3, SRA3, and A3+, the new DIGI grade is available in size 364 x 660 mm for the new Xerox Igen4 EXP format.
UPM's new 70 gsm copy paper provides several key advantages. From an economical perspective, a higher yield can be achieved, meaning that more paper for the money is gained. In addition, savings in fiber consumption and other raw materials are possible. For the same transportation cost, the company emphasizes, more papers are gained. From an environmental point of view, a 10% smaller environmental load per sheet has been calculated compared with the same paper in 80 gsm. By decreasing the substance of a copy paper to 70 g/m², the effluent load decreases by 10%., UPM adds, pointing out that there is a remarkable decrease in waste water, air emissions, and solid waste. Touch-wise, this bulky paper resembles the 80 gsm paper and also performs equally when it comes to runnability and printability. The 70 gsm paper is available as Yes Light and Future Multitech Eco.
