Yes... you can even recycle pigment foil!
One of the biggest misconceptions about foil is that adding it to paper automatically makes it non-recyclable. We're here to change that.
When hot stamping foil is transferred onto paper or board, the coating is incredibly thin — so thin, in fact, that it dissipates during the repulping process, allowing the paper fibers to be recovered and recycled.
And we have the testing to prove it...
Independent testing by SGS demonstrated that even with 80% foil coverage, the repulpability of recyclable paper or board remains unaffected. But the environmental story doesn't end there.
Throughout our latest campaign, we've been exploring the possibilities of pigment foil—from achieving bold, opaque colors to proving that foil doesn't have to shine to stand out. Now, we're taking that conversation one step further.
Created as part of our collection within the new James Cropper Paper Portal, these prints are a reminder that beautiful finishing, thoughtful material choices, and recyclability can work hand in hand.
Because sustainability shouldn't mean compromising on creativity. It's about understanding our materials, challenging misconceptions, and making more informed decisions for the future of print.
Yes, it's foil, and yes, you can recycle me.
