MICROCARTON

Papers Upcycled is a private brand owned by Microcarton, a company founded in 2018 by a group of friends with more than 20 years of experience in the paper, packaging and retail marketing business and cultural roots spread between Germany, Scotland, Turkey and Italy.
PAPERS UPCYCLED is a unique packaging brand dedicated only to paper & cardboard upcycling. Contrary to the linear “take, make, dispose” way of living, Papers Upcycled believes in the circular principle of creating wealth from waste. Every day we challenge the conventional modus operandi of the “paper world” with the goal to innovate beyond the constraints of traditional production standards and give our small contribution to a better and more sustainable future.

HOW WE DO IT:
At PAPERS UPCYCLED we carefully sort and select industrial offset printing waste and create a portfolio of environmentally friendly solutions that span from cosmetic boxes, shopping bags and product displays to online sales shipping boxes, drinks holders and advents calendars.
The final upcycled product would have the same aspect, durability and quality of a “traditional printing” process but with a twist: with minimal resources (water, electricity, chemicals, etc..) will have been put into play to regenerate and recycle our paper.
