Lafayette, the French department store chain, distributes eight million paper bags to its customers each year. In late March of this year, the bags were labelled with the official EU Eco-label, as they are manufactured of UPM’s eco-labelled paper. In order to receive the EU Eco-label, a product must satisfy a large number of strict environmental criteria in various areas. Lafayette’s bags are the first paper bags in the world to wear the label.
