Since the founding of the company in 1872, Palm has been manufacturing paper made exclusively from recycled raw materials. Today it extends this tradition by collecting recycled fibre and delivers it to 5 paper mills.
Palm Recycling specialises in sourcing recycled fibre for all 5 Palm production sites across Europe. A total of 2.1 million tonnes of paper is manufactured from 100% recycled fibre.
From recycled paper to newspaper and corrugated boxes
Palm Recycling obtains its recycled fibre from municipal and commercial waste management sites as well as from trade, business and industry. Palm can therefore ensure its mills always has sufficient raw materials available for the poduction of the high quality grades it manufactures. With economies of scale Palm is able to optimise logistical routes.
