Love Paper Campaign

Love Paper is a global consumer-focused campaign launched in 2012 to improve perceptions and raise awareness of the sustainability and attractiveness of print, paper and paper-based packaging.

Research carried out by Two Sides revealed some common misconceptions held by UK consumers;

• 64% believe European forests are shrinking – in fact, they’re growing in size by 1,500 football pitches every day.
• Only 16% believe the European paper recycling rate is above 60% – it’s actually 74% (The highest in the world!)

The campaign is making a difference. Surveys conducted in 2011 and 2016 show a 50% increase in UK consumer recognition of the environmental-friendliness of printed newspapers and a 13% increase for printed magazines.

In 2019, the campaign was relaunched with its own identity, new adverts, a new website and new possibilities for companies to support. The Love paper logo is now a registered trademark that reaches over 10 million consumers every month through advertising in newspapers and magazines.

There are a number of ways that you can support the Love Paper campaign, including;
