18-02-2026
Bluecat Paper is committed to playing a leadership role through flexible pulping and papermaking technology that converts diverse non-wood feedstocks, from cotton rags to agricultural residues, into tree-free paper instead of Ancient and Endangered Forests. We are also committed to supporting supply chain solutions that promote responsible environmental and ethical practices in manufacturing, and the protection of global ecosystems including Ancient and Endangered Forests.
Bluecat Paper recognizes that business leadership and long-term success must consider the environment. Consequently, Bluecat Paper is dedicated to building environmental awareness about these issues among customers, employees, suppliers and peers.
Protecting Ancient and Endangered Forests
Bluecat Paper provides a clear solution to inputs originating from the world’s Ancient and Endangered Forests , by converting agricultural and textile waste into tree-free paper. As such we are helping to protect the world’s remaining Ancient and Endangered Forests including the Canadian and Russian Boreal Forests; Coastal Temperate Rainforests ; tropical forests and peat lands of Indonesia , the Amazon and West Africa, and the protection of biodiversity and ecosystems contained within these forests.
As the issue of Ancient and Endangered Forest fibre in packaging, and paper gains increasing awareness among global retailers, brands, designers and producers, Bluecat Paper will work with suppliers, Canopy and businesses that have Canopy policies in place to support the protection of Ancient and Endangered Forests and forward solutions to reduce demand on the world’s forests. We will prioritize production partners who avoid sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests to maximize the availability of solutions that meet the purchasing preferences of Canopy’s policy signatories.
Innovation and Development
Bluecat Paper is flexible pulping and papermaking technology that converts diverse non-wood feedstocks, from cotton rags to agricultural residues, into tree-free paper instead of Ancient and Endangered Forests. This provides Bluecat Paper customers with a guarantee that the company is not sourcing from controversial sources including wood from: illegal logging , endangered species habitat, logging in contravention of First Nations/indigenous peoples’ rights or in contravention of Free, Prior or Informed Consent (FPIC).
Advance Joint Conservation Solutions
Bluecat Paper supports the implementation of visionary agreements in key forest areas, such as the Canadian Boreal Forests, Coastal Temperate Rainforests and Indonesia. We look to Canopy to identify opportunities to encourage existing and new initiatives that seek to protect the world’s remaining ancient and endangered forests.
Reduce our Carbon Footprint
Bluecat Paper aims to reduce our company’s own greenhouse gas emissions. Where possible will play a role in mitigating climate change by participating in initiatives that reduce the loss of biogenic carbon from carbon-rich forests (e.g. ancient old growth temperate rainforests and forests growing on peat lands) by encouraging the development of products made within a circular mode of production and low carbon feedstock.
Pollution Prevention
Conventional pulp production is a resource-intensive process that can lead to air and water emissions that impact overall environmental quality. Bluecat Paper is scaling a flexible pulping and papermaking technology that converts diverse non-wood feedstocks, from cotton rags to agricultural residues, into tree-free paper instead of Ancient and Endangered Forests.
Internal Paper and Packaging
Bluecat Paper is committed to improved efficiency in paper use in its own operations, and to reducing waste. We are committed to ensuring that any paper and packaging we use does not include fibre sourced from Ancient and Endangered Forests and to achieving this by the end of year 2025 or sooner. In line with Bluecat Paper’s own business production, we a agricultural residue and/or 100%. If any of our paper and packaging suppliers are found to be sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests we will engage them to change practices and/or re-evaluate our relationship with them.
Promote Industry Leadership
Bluecat Paper recognizes the benefit of creating environmental awareness amongst its team, customers, and partners. The company will work to highlight our environmental efforts on our website, in public communications and social media, and in partnership with stakeholders.
Strong Certification and Forest Management Standards
Bluecat Paper fully supports responsible forest management practices that protect biodiversity and ecosystem integrity, provide long-term social and economic benefits to communities, and facilitate a stable, sustainable supply chain and climate of operational certainty. If any of our business partners, clients or suppliers are using forest products we will encourage them to preference fibre certified to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standard outside of Ancient and Endangered forests if virgin fibre is needed and until alternatives to virgin wood-based products are available.
