Two Sides Welcomes Schades as Its Newest Member, Highlighting Sustainability in Paper Production
Two Sides, the global initiative promoting the sustainability of print, paper, and paper-based packaging, is thrilled to announce the addition of Schades to its membership. Schades, a leading European manufacturer of paper rolls, self-adhesive labels, and food wraps, brings a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation to the organization.
Schades: A Leader in Sustainable Paper Production
The Schades Group has long been at the forefront of sustainable development within the paper industry. By balancing present needs with the requirements of future generations, Schades fosters resilience, innovation, and competitiveness while safeguarding biodiversity and ecological balance. This approach has made Schades not just a market leader but also a champion of environmental responsibility.
Jun Park, Group CEO of Schades, emphasizes the company’s dedication to sustainability: “Sustainability is an important topic for Schades Group. We aren’t just a market leader; we’re a sustainability champion, driving the environmental agenda within our industry.” Schades was among the first manufacturers to achieve FSC® Certification for paper rolls and pioneered the introduction of Phenol Free paper, a groundbreaking innovation that came eight years before the EU’s ban on Bisphenol A, a harmful chemical of concern.
Reducing Carbon Footprint and Promoting Responsible Sourcing
Schades is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint, with its efforts rigorously verified by independent auditors. The company ensures that its suppliers source pulp exclusively from responsibly managed forests, allowing Schades to display the FSC® label on its point-of-sale (POS) rolls. This commitment to responsible sourcing underscores Schades’ dedication to environmental stewardship.
The company has also introduced lighter weight thermal papers, which offer significant environmental and operational benefits, including:
- Longer length till rolls, reducing the frequency of changes at the point of sale.
- Reduced carbon footprint in transportation, thanks to lighter materials.
- Significant reductions in pulp usage during the manufacturing process.
- Greener solutions for the environment, coupled with operational savings.
These innovations demonstrate Schades’ ability to balance environmental responsibility with practical, cost-effective solutions for its customers.

Jonathan Tame, Managing Director of Two Sides Europe, expressed his enthusiasm about Schades joining the organization: “We’re pleased to welcome Schades as a member of Two Sides. As one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of paper rolls and self-adhesive labels, including paper receipts, Schades plays a key role in demonstrating the essential and sustainable nature of paper-based communication.
