“We are using certified paper so the traceability and control gives us the confidence that we were doing the right thing. The benefit is the absolute certainty for a consumer; they know you are sustainable. It’s hard to quantify that. Consumers expect environmental sustainability and they are looking for something simple to tell them that is the case. The Environmental Choice logo is one of the most recognised in New Zealand. Cottonsoft uses the logo as its simple way of letting the consumer know the product is sustainable.” – Kim Calvert, Country Manager – NZ, Cottonsoft Limited
