INTER-STATES PAPER
Sustainable Journey from a Sheet of Paper
We believe that good paper not only improves the quality of your work, but also makes the world a better place.
Since its establishment in 1979, Inter-States Paper has been promoting sustainable paper and circular economy in the Taiwan market through professional selection of materials, stringent quality and respect for the environment. As a member of the paper industry, we are fully aware that the choice of materials represents "resources, the environment, brand value and future responsibility". Therefore, we choose to take action to change the market rather than follow passively.
Guided by brand spirit, professionalism, and responsibility, we carry every commitment made to our planet.
This is our core belief—and for Inter-States Paper, it has remained unchanged since the very first day of our founding.
From Interest to Mission
Inter-States Paper was founded out of a passion for paper.
From choosing paper, touching it, studying its texture, and learning about the culture and production process of different paper mills, we are fascinated by the touch, weight, and technology behind each piece of paper.
This passion gradually turned into a mission:
Bringing the world's best paper and most responsible materials to Taiwan gives more creators, businesses and brands a better choice.
As the demand for sustainable materials rises, we are more determined than ever:
Providing good paper is providing a better road ahead.
Sustainability-based entrepreneurship
1. Selecting trustworthy paper with professionalism
We visit paper mills all over the world to personally understand each brand's quality, environmental strategy and technical commitment. We are only willing to represent a brand if it meets the three criteria of "high quality × stability × environmental spirit".
2. to maintain long-term co-operation with clients with honesty and integrity
Inter-States Paper believes that a good partnership comes from transparency and trust. Therefore, we have always taken "stable supply, clear information, and prompt service" as our core principle, so that our customers can use each batch of paper materials with peace of mind.
3. Use of Materials to Promote Circular Economy Practices
We believe that the life of a piece of paper should not end with its use, but extend to recycling, reuse and responsible materials management.
