The Protection of Water Resources
Water is the main natural resource we use for the manufacturing of Canson® paper. For us, the quality of the water in the surrounding rivers is an everyday concern.
To go even further in water protection, we have committed to the eco-design of our products, in order to reduce their ecological footprint "from the cradle to the grave".
What modifications did you make in the design of your products?
Firstly, we now only use water-based inks for the printing of the drawing paper pack and for graph paper. Moreover, for the production of glued pads, we now use a neutral glue which, in addition to environmental benefits, allows the preservation of the artworks.
As part of our ISO 14001 environmental certification, water is one of the key elements of our environmental analysis. We take particular care to preserve water resources.
The industrial wastewater concerned is treated by the site's biological wastewater treatment plant before being discharged, in accordance with applicable requirements.
