Banner wins Green Apple award

Banner has won a Green Apple award for Environmental best practice. The Green Apple has been awarded for the new Banner 100% Recycled Closed Loop Copier paper.

Banner is the largest subsidiary of the office2office (o2o) group, and o2o Group’s Commercial Director, Andy Craig will accept the Green Apple award at the House of Commons in November. The Green Apple Awards began in 1994 and are organised by The Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world.

Banner 100% Recycled Closed Loop Copier paper is the UK’s first 100% recycled paper to be sourced from, and delivered back to, the same customer. The revolutionary new recycling process, effectively ‘closes the loop’ of office copier paper procurement. Used paper is collected and shredding on-site by our secure destruction service. It is then turned into clean copier paper and delivered back to the original customer.

Andy said “Our Closed Loop paper process provides customers with an audited, data backed process, allowing them to monitor how much paper they recycle and where their waste paper is up to in the recycling process. Initial feedback we have received suggests customers and their employees value the fact they are able to re-use the actual waste they created, in a sustainable way. It represents a giant step forward for environmentally aware organisations.”
