Renewable energy, responsible chemistry, product stewardship, and management systems aligned with modern paper and fibre manufacturing.
Our Indian manufacturing operations are supported by a combined 4.5 MW solar power facility. The project supplies more than 85% of our grid electricity requirements through renewable generation, reducing reliance on conventional power and supporting a lower-carbon production footprint.
Generation and avoided-emissions figures are estimates based on stated capacity-utilisation and grid-emission assumptions.
REACH establishes requirements for understanding chemical hazards, controlling exposure, and communicating safe-use information throughout the supply chain.
With our own in-house transnational Compliance and REACH team, we are well equipped to meet the requirements of the European Union regulation.
Waterside supports customers with product-specific regulatory information for food-contact papers, environmentally preferable grades, and fibre products designed for end-of-life recovery. Supporting declarations should always be confirmed for the intended application.
Selected Waterside colourants are supported for evaluation against relevant BfR recommendations for paper and board intended to contact food. Product-specific declarations help customers assess suitability for the intended grade and conditions of use.
For relevant paper and paperboard applications, Waterside can provide product-specific information supporting assessment against applicable US FDA requirements, including legacy Pre-1958 status or opinion documentation where relevant.
A range of Waterside products can support paper manufacturers working toward recognised ecolabel criteria, including EU Ecolabel and Nordic Swan requirements. Current product status and documentation are available for application-specific review.
Waterside can support colourant selection for paper and moulded-fibre products designed for compostable end uses. Suitability must be assessed as part of the complete finished article, including fibre, additives, coatings, inks, dosage, and the applicable compostability standard.
Recognised goals, responsible-business initiatives, regulatory frameworks, management standards, and environmental product criteria provide structure for measuring progress, managing risk, and supporting customer requirements.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals, United Nations Global Compact, Science Based Targets, CDP, and EcoVadis provide reference points for responsible business, climate ambition, disclosure, and sustainability assessment.
The organisations and marks shown represent different types of frameworks, memberships, regulatory bodies, disclosure platforms, ratings, and product standards. Their scope and applicability are not identical and should be considered individually.
Waterside Colours operates through certified quality and environmental management frameworks, supported by documented objectives, traceability, responsible procurement, and clear standards of conduct.
