Founded in 1819, Monadnock Paper Mills has survived and thrived through radical changes in the paper business. Today, its eco-friendly products are found in products from blue jean tags to craft beer labels and retail gift cards. Monadnock decided decades ago to focus on environmental awareness and sustainability as the key to survival.
A growing number of the world’s leading brands have adopted paper as a high-performing, eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Monadnock is dedicated to helping make the world a more sustainable place.
Richard Verney, chairman and CEO of Monadnock Paper Mills stated, ‘Disruptive innovation has allowed Monadnock to thrive in a tough paper market. We created an entire line of plastic replacement products. We created Kona Paper, which is made with shredded coffee bean bags reclaimed from roasters across the country. We believe in reusing the world’s resources and are focused on relentless improvement moving forward. We are proud to celebrate 200 years of continuous papermaking and look forward to a long and prosperous future.’
Lisa Berghaus, director of marketing and corporate communications said, ‘Many generations have been employed by Monadnock over these 200 years. It’s a true American success story of hard work and ingenuity. We believe it is our commitment to sustainability-oriented innovation, coupled with our support for the local community, that has earned us the pleasure of celebrating 200 years of continuous American papermaking.’
