Jon Sherman has always been an outspoken supporter of the transformation of wallpaper production standards to more ecological and sustainable methods, utilising non-polluting inks and renewable materials.
Water-based inks
Aware of the pollution caused by plastisol inks traditionally used in screen printing techniques, Flavor Paper decided early on to phase them out and use water-based inks instead. Despite being more difficult to use, these water-based inks are substantially more eco-friendly as they are non-toxic, biodegradable, and soy-based.
PVC-free and FSC-sourced materials
Unlike many other wallpapers on the market, all Flavor Paper models are PVC-free. No polyester is used, with the result that they are also plasticiser-free and phthalate-free. Furthermore, the pulp required to produce the non-woven layer is sourced from FSC-certified sustainable forestry.
