FAQ
Waste materials
What can I do with my (company’s) paper waste?
We love you for asking that question! At Redopapers, we gladly upcycle your paper waste into a new stationery product that fits your company perfectly. Please note that upcycling is not the same as recycling. This means your paper waste has to be of a certain quality and size to create new cut-outs.
If you have a large amount of leftover posters, flyers, brochures, cardboard, magazines, … don’t hesitate to send us an e-mail via hello@redopapers.com. A description of the size, quantity and/or a picture is very helpful to give us an idea of the paper waste.
What can I do with my (company’s) old banners?
Redopapers upcycles old banners into refillable covers for notebooks and agenda’s. As a company, we gladly turn your old banners into unique notebooks with your logo. Ask a price quote on our website or contact olivia@redopapers.com for more information.
Sustainable production
What is the difference between upcycling and recycling paper?
Upcycling vs. recycling: there’s a very important difference. Recycling involves the destruction of waste, in order to create something new. Upcycling (or reusing) takes waste and creates something new from its current state.
In the case of paper, recycling means that new fibers are being mixed with old paper scraps and lots of water to create new paper. Sadly, paper fibers can’t be recycled infinitely. That’s why we made it our mission to upcycle existing paper scraps and give them an extra life cycle before being recycled. You can read more about this topic on our website.
How is the production process of Redopapers so sustainable?
All our paper products are made from waste from the graphic industry. We actively look for residual materials and examine them in detail. After that, we start thinking of our design and the beautiful products and planning tools we could make of the available materials. This makes our production process different from the usual process. We start from the available waste materials before we start designing our product.
We do not add new paper, so there is no new waste created. Sustainability is in the DNA of Redopapers. We apply our sustainable approach to every aspect of our company. For example: we ship orders in used paper materials, we use ecological paper tape to seal your orders and we limit our transportation as much as possible.
Does Redopapers extract raw materials?
No, we do not extract new raw materials, instead we use existing materials. Within every industry - in our case the graphic industry - raw materials inevitably end up being waste. That's the point where we change direction. By giving new life to paper waste from print companies and cultural institutions, we are getting closer to a circular economy. Besides: we love paper! This specific way of working gives us the opportunity to process beautiful sheets of old paper into a practical and aesthetically unique design product.
Where are your products being produced?
Redopapers produces locally. Our raw materials come from local print companies and cultural houses. Almost all steps in our production process take place in and around Antwerp.
