3 million coreless rolls sold

coreless – Sustainability doesn’t have to be blue. Mandatory receipts in an age of environmental protection and sustainability? At first, the two seem incompatible. A world first from europaper bridges these apparent opposites. Despite the growing focus on environmental and health protection in business, consumption of plastic and paper continues to rise. In 2018, Germany alone produced 19 million tonnes of plastic. The receipt requirement introduced this year is contributing to this trend. Because of its core, a single receipt roll contains a full four grams of plastic. In rare cases, the plastic core is replaced by cardboard. Europaper, a European paper wholesaler, is taking a stand against this flood of plastic. Europaper GmbH, and therefore Papierdiscount24.de, secured exclusive distribution rights for an innovation that will make our shopping more sustainable: the coreless receipt roll. Coreless: What does it mean? As its name suggests, the coreless roll is manufactured without a core. The 3.000.000 rolls already sold have thus saved over 12 tonnes of plastic. Besides eliminating plastic and cardboard from the manufacturing process, the coreless roll also reduces the waste left at the end of the roll. Business customers such as McDonald’s franchise partners are already enthusiastic users. In addition to sustainability, the rolls promise better print quality and greater resistance to damage during transport. Their ongoing success will lead to market expansion in the coming months. The rolls are consequently also intended for use in payment terminals and vending machines. This product therefore offers an innovative solution in several areas that can make our everyday lives more sustainable. Coreless: How can I picture these 12 tonnes? If the cores saved were stacked on top of one another, the plastic tower would now be almost 250 kilometres high. To put this in context, this is the so-called thermosphere, at an altitude of 85-500 kilometres. This is the region where the International Space Station ISS, Space X Dragon and many other fascinating spacecraft travel. Temperatures here rise to over 1700 degrees Celsius. A simple idea has spared the environment this enormous tower. Coreless: How many customers already use coreless? Growth since the rolls were introduced in March 2020 has been enormous. More than 45.000 customers have already ordered our coreless rolls. For just over a year, our coreless rolls have also been bought in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria and even Finland. Coreless: Want to see more?
