Koehler Paper won an award in the “Circularité dans l'Emballage de luxe” (Circularity in Luxury Packaging) category at the 2026 PAP'AWARDS ceremony. With this prize, the jury acknowledged that Koehler Paper’s premium recycled paper products represent a vital contribution to the development of sustainable high-end packaging solutions for premium and luxury brands.
The PAP'AWARDS Honor Innovations in the Paper Industry
The PAP'AWARDS are among the most renowned distinctions given out in the French paper and board industry. Every year, they are awarded for extraordinary innovations, developments, and projects along the entire value chain for paper, board, and packaging. This all happens in the French capital of Paris as part of the “Nuit du Papier” (Night of Paper), an event in which a jury of experts selects the winners in a series of categories.
Koehler Paper Premium Recycled Paper for Circular Packaging Solutions
With the high-end recycled paper offerings in its greenium brand, Koehler Paper provides creative professionals, brand owners, and packaging manufacturers with an alternative material that combines an unrivaled look and feel with excellent processing compatibility while meeting the needs of resource-efficient circular economies. Within this context, it is particularly important to highlight that this material consists of solid-dyed core paper, ensuring that no visible cracking can emerge at corners, edges, or folds. The result is a uniform color from end to end even when the material goes through extensive processing. Moreover, the greenium portfolio features a large color palette, opening countless design and application possibilities. This extraordinary range of available colors, combined with the solid-dyed core material and excellent processing quality, was one of the main reasons why Koehler Paper was chosen as a winner at the 2026 PAP'AWARDS.
“This award corroborates the fact that premium recycled paper is already playing an important role in the premium and luxury segments today. To put it simply, it’s a product that shows that exquisite design, top material quality, and sustainable approaches are all compatible with each other,” says Udo Hollbach, the Managing Director of the Koehler Paper Greiz mill. Koehler Paper is accordingly continuously developing its recycled paper portfolio in order to meet the growing needs of brand owners, designers, and packaging specialists. In fact, the award received at the 2026 PAP'AWARDS shows that premium recycled paper holds enormous potential as a future-proof solution for sophisticated packaging applications in the luxury segment.
