NZ stationer on top of its class

NZ school kids and their parents who want to help the environment can now choose exercise books, which meet tough Environmental Choice criteria, thanks to Croxley.
A number of top-selling Warwick scholastic exercise books use recycled pulp and inks, which are either water or vegetable oil based, helping Croxley achieve the standard set by Environmental Choice NZ – one of the world’s strongest ecolabels.
Croxley managing director, Joe Naus, says seeing Environmental Choice’s tick on the company’s books is a proud milestone. “We know many parents like the fact that Warwick school exercise books are made in NZ. They have become a Kiwi favourite since the first ones appeared in classrooms in 1956. Now, they can also be assured the books in their child’s school bag are kind to our environment.”
Environmental Choice is only awarded to products which comply with robust, published environmental specifications, taking into account their whole life cycle. The label is owned by the NZ government and independently administered by the NZ Ecolabelling Trust. Its specification for paper has been placed in the world’s top three ‘best practice’ standards.
