Recyclable Photo Paper from Sihl
Less plastic, more sustainability: GreenGrafX Photo Paper
Plastic accompanies us everywhere in our everyday lives – even in places where we would not expect it at first glance. Did you know that all conventional photo paper is coated with plastic and therefore cannot be disposed of in the waste-paper recycling system? This is because the coating contains polyethylene (PE), and it is not possible to separate this from the paper base.
Picture the World without Plastic
Imagine a world without plastic. With our GreenGrafX Photo Paper 220 satin, you’ll be a lot closer to that vision. Less plastic, more sustainability: that’s our promise.
GreenGrafX Photo Paper is the first choice for sustainably brilliant photo prints because the material is Made in Germany, FSC® certified – and fully recyclable via the waste-paper cycle.
Same quality, same colour brilliance, same gloss – but much less plastic. Sounds too good to be true? Our secret is the finishing with a bio-based barrier and the microporous coating that replaces the PE-film but retains its important properties for photo printing.
The big advantage is that it makes the GreenGrafX Photo Paper 220 satin 100% recyclable via the waste-paper cycle, so that it is certified according to the PTS RH 021/97 category II method, which is common in the recycling environment.
More plus points:
- Very good flatness, even with high ink coverage
- Less sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity
- Optimised for water-based inks
- Excellent colour reproduction and wide colour gamut
- Fast drying

Our first fully recyclable photo paper is the only environmentally friendly alternative to PE-filmed photo papers – with brilliant print results and 100% quality.
