D day for Arjowiggins Graphic at COP15 in Copenhagen, with its innovative and environmental solutions for paper based communication.

Cocoon, the new eco-labelled 100% recycled coated paper, becomes the « it paper » at and around COP15.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (COP 15) was a turning point in the fight to prevent climate disaster.
The science demanded it, the economics support it, future generations require it. Shall we say that paper demanded it as well. “Paper choices are climate choices” as Arjowiggins Graphic said at COP15 .

During two weeks, negotiators, ministers and world leaders were assembled in the Danish capital to give the people of all nations a strong answer to this common, global threat of climate change.
Arjowiggins Graphic gave strong innnovative and environmental solutions for paper based communication : 9 new environmentally-friendly products were brought to the market in just 18 months under the brand : Cocoon, Maine Gloss green, Satimat green, Cyclus and Eural.

As a start on the road to Copenhagen, Arjowiggins Graphic launched its NO CO2MPROMISE petition with Cyclus (100% non coated recycled paper produced in the Dalum Danish mills) calling for signatures to support the Climate Change Summit  for CO2 emissions reductions (www.cyclus.dk/co2).
