Metapaper becomes sales partner for Lessebo Smooth and Rough 1.3

19 November 2024

The e-commerce platform Metapaper will be the exclusive distribution partner for Lessebo (Design) Smooth and Rough 1.3 in Germany, France and Austria. As Metapaper explains, Lessebo is the first cradle-to-cradle gold-certified paper mill in Europe with a very low carbon footprint.

The privately owned company Lessebo Bruk is known worldwide for its high-quality natural papers and is the first paper mill in Europe to be awarded the Cradle to Cradle Gold certificate. With a CO₂ footprint of just 11 kg per tonne of paper, the mill is currently said to have the lowest real CO₂ value of all paper mills. According to the company, this carbon footprint is achieved through the use of renewable energy and local sourcing of raw materials from the region.

Metapaper offers its own online shop for Lessebo Bruk, through which all papers can be purchased according to the Metapaper logic. Metapaper offers the two surfaces Lessebo Rough 1.3 and Lessebo Smooth in the three colours Bright (Coldwhite), White and Natural (Warmwhite) in grammages from 80 to 400 g/m² and in several formats from A4 to 72×102 cm. To match the papers, Metapaper offers envelopes and adhesive papers in Smooth in all three shades of white and various formats.

‘The market is currently undergoing an exciting development and we are delighted that Lessebo Bruk - one of Europe's most renowned and sustainable paper suppliers - has chosen Metapaper. The papers are a perfect fit for Metapaper, both in terms of quality and sustainability. Lessebo has established an outstanding sustainability position in recent years and we look forward to building on the success of Lessebo papers in the coming years,’ says Axel Scheufelen, founder and Managing Director of Metapaper.

For Olaf Stein, Creative Director of Metapaper, the focus is not only on product quality but above all on the sustainability dimension: ‘Lessebo is following an exemplary path as the first and so far only Cradle to Cradle Gold-certified paper mill in Europe with extremely low real CO₂ emissions. This is an extremely positive contribution and fits in perfectly with today's world.’
