Japanese Paper Company is committed to meeting the highest levels of sustainability in every part of our company.

Washi is made using fibers that are sustainably harvested, in a way that meets the highest level of environmental standards. The techniques used in its production date back hundreds of years. Many of the papers represented here are made by families in the trade for multiple generations; others are made by craftspeople who have learned from other Masters, and dedicated their life to paper.

The paper is shipped from Japan to Sweden by ship. Though still problematic, this has the smallest carbon footprint of all the options.

The shipping we choose from Sweden to your home is climate compensated by PostNord and, when ordering outside of Sweden, we do our best to find the option that fits each customer best.

The bioplastic bags we use to protect the paper from damage while shipping are made from plants and are 100% home-compostable. The protective wrapping paper and packing tape are made from grass fibers, and are all 100% plastic-free and fully recyclable. When possible, we reuse cardboard from other parts of our supply chain to send the paper to you. Although it isn't always possible to reuse or recycle, we prioritize these options before using other materials.

We are constantly working to find better materials and packaging options to get this beautiful paper to its destination, in perfect condition.
