About us

"We don’t inherit the earth from our ancestors but have borrowed it from our children".

Perhaps its time to convert our noble thought towards environment care into action. Our ethical paper is India’s first branded 100% recycled paper, and is a tribute to the above saying. Made by recycling paper 100% , thus saving precious trees, and by recycling 100% water, the ethical paper presents a range of products and opportunities for a positive action towards environment.

environi is a firm formed recognising the importance and place of innovation in the modern business landscape. With so many business models floating around and with the internet keeping very little secrets, the concept of “ how you are doing what you are doing ” is assuming far greater significance than "what you are doing". Innovation has thus become a key driver of business, let alone growth.

environi focuses on innovation in various business aspects, while attempting to address societal issues. The larger objective is to rope in students and young entrepreneurs into a business ecosystem with various complementing businesses, all bringing in innovation to varying extent.

While several organisations have a separate innovation vision, we intend to have innovation in our mainstay vision, thus capturing the spirit and importance of innovation in today’s business scenario.

environi.in is a vertical devoted to champion the usage of Ethical paper, India’s no 1 branded recycled paper and making it a viable and first choice alternative to mainstream white/ regular/ virgin pulp paper.

Our Mission

To promote paper recycling by raising awareness about the importance of recycling, educating community about the success of the paper recycling system, building awareness, where schools, communities and corporates start using recycled paper. Our manufacturer transition to pulp and paper and is made from responsibly sourced fibers, using entirely renewable energy, with water that is as clean after paper production, producing zero waste and zero emissions.

Our Plan

  • Reduce global paper consumption and promote fair access to paper
  • Maximise recycled fiber content
  • Ensure social responsibility
  • Source fiber responsibly
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
  • Ensure clean production
  • Ensure transparency and integrity

Our Vision

We share a vision of a saving forest and environment, that contributes to a clean, healthy, just and sustainable future for all life on earth. We seek a world with new consumption patterns that meet the needs of all people while eliminating waste and over-consumption, where paper production is less reliant on virgin fiber and not associated with loss of biodiversity or forests, maximises use of recycled materials, respects human rights including local people’s land rights,

BENEFITS OF USING ETHICAL PAPER

Save trees

Paper consumption is one of the reasons for reasons for deforestation. Sometimes, plantations are made for growing timber, which is also a monoculture lacking diversity, which is not conducive for a bio ecosystem. Its that time now - to switch and convert our lip service of ‘saving trees’ to using recycled paper that is much more prudent in the urban context. Ethical paper is that opportunity

Save Water

The regular water requires about 35- 40000 litres per ton of paper. Since the papers are bleached to make it white, the water cannot be reused and has to be discarded. Since ethical paper is not bleached, the same water is reused again and again, thus saving 98% of water. In fact, our manufacturing plant does not have a water outlet at all. For the crusaders of saving water, ethical paper is a dream product with a powerful message

Save Energy

Energy required to process timber for paper is a lot more than the total energy required to process recycled...
77% savings in energy.
For converting wood from a tree to a paper product, a lot of energys is required for transportation, cutting, crushing, power for water pumping etc. Ethical paper saves all these since the raw material is a used paper

Solid waste/ Greenhouse gases

Solid landfills have leachate issues, printing ink seepage, ground water contamination etc. Ethical paper reuses the paper by recycling it and hence reduces the volume at landfills.

Recycling Contributions

1. Preserves natural resources
2. Prevents air and water pollution
3. It helps to sustain the environment for future generations
4. Decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change

Ethical Paper at your institution/ organisation

Plug Ethical paper into your CSR initiatives, use the ethical paper products and sensitise all your stakeholders, use it for branding and send a powerful message about your care and concern for environment. Since ethical paper recycles the used paper, it reduces green-house gases, apart from the greenhouse gases of the energy associated in production.

Ecopact Diaries : Brown is the new Green

Brown is the new Green

Many perceive sustainability to be a romantic thought that’s limited to an academic value. This forces the much-needed action get away from the realm of practicality.

“Practical Sustainability” is the core tenet and philosophy of Compact Innovation Avenues. This in turn drives us to offer products that match the criteria of technical feasibility, price, Convenience and Availability that are intrinsic for mass adaptation.

Ecopact Diary – Our coveted New Year offering is an example of this claim. Packed with eco-friendly features and a great price, this is the ideal gift that complements your Go-Green initiatives, all year long. With the voluntary adaptation of United Nations SDGs across a broad spectrum, every responsible corporate is constantly on the lookout for products that provide a combination of the above.

We are well aware that the runway needs to be lengthy for a flight to take off and we are trying to fly a Behemoth.

The diary serves as the perfect elixir when introduced to your team, employees and stakeholders to the intoxication of pleasures when sustainability becomes a part of one’s lifestyle.

Ecopact Diary Features :

100% recycled paper: While many diaries claim to be eco-friendly with just the front cover, we dove deeper to make the inner pages from Ethical Paper™, India’s largest 100% recycled and unbleached paper. Ethical Paper™ saves close to 3.5 tons of wood from 17 trees and about 40000 liters of water for bleaching. This directly lends relevance to the voices of save water, save trees or save earth campaigns.

The unbleached paper is less bright- 65-68% as against 82+ for a normal white paper. This sensitizes the user at a subconscious level throughout the year.

Cover page: Can be made with a choice of Cork, Jute, Raw silk, or Canvas. All these options give the desired earthy touch, not compromising the luxury feel.

Cork Paper Sheets
Rawsilk
Jute Siary
Fabric

Reduced page wastage: Our new-age page design has a date template that enables the user to ‘mark the date’ when used. This reduces wastage due to unused pages, also allowing flexibility to utilize multiple pages a day.

A good way to Walk the Talk by following the first principles of 3R’s – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Many products, when made to be white in appearance , come with a huge cost – of either environment or health.
  • Take the case of sugar – where the brown ‘mineral’ sugar or the raw cane sugar is now advocated.
  • Maida is a white element that is stripped out of fibres of wheat, that compromises on our health.
  • Bread – the world is now recognising the importance of brown bread, against the white.
  • White cloth comes at a big environmental cost, through chemicals, bleaching etc.
  • The whiter the paper, more the bleaching chemicals, more the water utilised.
Felling of trees for the wood fibre required for paper is the apparent and obvious action that leads to deforestation. Also, regular paper uses wood fibre from mono-culture, manmade plantations, that replaces our native forests which has biodiversity. These plantations are not a bio ecosystem and contributes indirectly but largely to the deforestation activities.
Largely yes. However, we would discourage the use of ethical paper for fair copies of documents (contracts/agreements etc.), brochures/marketing collaterals and for packing edible items.
Its almost as good as natural paper, but definitely a shade lower because it is not bleached and hence not that extra bright and white. However, for monochromatic printing, the difference is not noticeable. It can be used for multi-colour printing too, but the difference will be there, due to the sheer difference in the brightness of the base component.
We can supply products, other than our standard sizes for your printing needs as well. A2, A1, A0 paper can be supplied. Contact us for bulk requirements.
Yes. In inkjets, laser jets, high speed copier paper machines and almost all the modern printing machines.
