Cascades is specialized in the manufacturing, transformation, and commercialization of recycled fibre products. In 2007, the company commissioned Paprika to design the page layout of its annual report on sustainable development.
Distributed to investors, partner journalists, employees, and ecologists and environmentalists alike, the document is an assessment of the company’s environmental and energy efforts. As such, it has to be consistent with its philosophy and environmental values. We solely used recycled fibre paper and printed the document in two colors – black and green. We also designed a hardcover made from Kraft paper, a rather uncommon material in the editing world. Sealed with a self-adhesive strip, the report was directly mailed and not inserted in any envelope.
