Heidi Reimer
LEADER OF A PLANTABLE PAPER MAKER
Looking back, Botanical PaperWorks was pioneering something new even before sustainable products were a conscious concept. Seed paper came to the co-founders’ minds. It is a plantable eco-paper made with post-consumer and post-industrial paper waste embedded with seeds. Heidi explained in simple terms, “the process begins when the paper is planted in a pot of soil, the seeds grow, and the paper composts away. All that is left behind is flowers, herbs or vegetables, and no waste.” The unique market positioning not only landed them as a supplier and manufacturer of plantable paper but also as the designer and printer of plantable paper products in Canada and across the world. Their products range from seal and send wedding invitations, eco-friendly wedding favors, seed paper business cards, bookmarks, greeting cards, memorial products, baby shower invitations, and so much more. For more of their long list of offerings, the Botanical PaperWorks 2022 Catalog would give great insight into the magnitude of seed paper products to the world. Botanical PaperWorks is unique compared to other seed paper companies. The company’s involvement with zero waste made with recycled materials, connecting people and the planet, supporting biodiversity, and becoming a certified women’s business enterprise has brought them to the center of sustainability. They have won more than 13 awards, including Best in Sustainability 2022 PPPC Awards and the Gold Award for Most Creative New Promotional Product 2018 PPPC Image Awards. More details can be found on their website. Botanical PaperWorks is also a diverse and inclusive company in employment.
