James Cropper has set new quality standards for recycled materials with the release of Rydal Eco, a sustainable paper innovation.
Rydal Eco is an uncoated board, made entirely from recycled fibre, that performs like a coated board. It delivers a superb printing surface with whiteness levels equivalent to virgin fibre material. This provides sharper print, more vivid colours, cleaner die-cutting, and better registration when using finishing techniques such as varnishing and debossing.
Designed with luxury goods in mind, Rydal Eco offers versatility to both brands and converters. Its luxurious tactile feel makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from cosmetics, and wines to fragrance packaging, while its precision-engineered converting characteristics mean it is compatible with diverse production techniques including lithography, silk screen printing, die stamping, laser cutting, foil blocking, and more.
Rydal Eco is produced in alignment with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), supporting companies looking to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains. Other products in the Rydal packaging collection make use of James Cropper’s CupCycling® technology, which upcycles used coffee cups into premium packaging, as part of the company’s mission to lead the way in sustainable material development. James Cropper is renowned for its innovative use of fibre recovered from used coffee cups, cup offcuts, worn denim, office waste, and other industrial sources.
