UPM has launched a new solution for the thin print market. The paper, UPM EcoLite, has been specially designed to meet the needs of customers printing pharmaceutical leaflets and religious literature as well as user manuals and instructions. By choosing this new paper, customers will benefit from significant cost savings compared to a conventional paper solution.

‘The product is a result of extensive research and development work at Kaipola mill in Finland. The name, UPM EcoLite, says it all: In addition to being an ecological choice, it offers our customers an economical option without compromising on the reading experience or folding properties of the paper,’ stated Joonas Järvinen, new business development manager, News and Retail at UPM.

UPM EcoLite is available in 29, 32, 34 and 38 g/m2. A lighter paper equals a smaller environmental footprint as it requires fewer raw materials, less water and less energy to produce and transport.

‘The development of lightweight papers is a perfect example of resource efficiency, which is one of the cornerstones of our sustainable operations. Our customers get the same printing area using less materials. At the same time, the environmental impacts of production and the supply chain as a whole decrease significantly,’ Joonas added.
