Bleaching paper with chlorine impurifies the waste water and allows pollutants to enter the food chain. That is why all our papers are ECF products as a minimum, meaning they are bleached without elementary chlorine (AOX value* 0.03 - 0.8 kg/t).
IQ TRIOTEC® unique, MAESTRO® TRIOTEC® TCF and BIO TOP 3® are our TCF (totally chlorine free) products, bleached without the use of any chlorine at all (AOX value* 0.0 kg/t). Instead they are bleached using oxygen and hydrogen peroxide.
The result: perfect office paper that meets all your needs and those of the environment, too. In fact, it’s a pity that fish can’t applaud.
* AOX: the sum of all absorbable organic halogens (chlorine, bromine and iodine compounds) in waste water.
