RAW Agri-waste Paper – Frequently Asked Questions
Being a product that is claiming to be one of the most sustainable options available in the packaging industry… we know there are questions! We are always gathering new data, information, certifications and asking new questions, if your question isn’t answered below then get in touch with our team and we will be happy to help.
Q. Is it the same strength as standard cardboard?
A. The board strength is measured in GSM, just like paper. The test results are documents on our website when comparing the same material grade.
Q. What is the price difference?
A. Each project will be different depending on size and quantity, no different to any bespoke project. A stock range is available to view on our website, with sizing and pricing.

Q. What are the lead times of raw materials/manufacturing?
A. Currently a bespoke project will take about 8 – 12 weeks from inception to creation, this will vary depending on requirements and decrease as the market popularity grows.
Q. How reliable is the supply chain of the raw materials, is there limited availability?
A. We are using only 16% of the available resource and only 209 farmers are part of this project so far. As demand grows, there is an endless supply available. Test Valley will be the only UK stock holder of the material and will be working with board convertors to create this into corrugated.
Q. Is it future proof?
A. The supply of the RAW material capacity from India has hardly been touched. We would like to offer more farmers the opportunity to work with us in providing their waste products to be recycled.
