Making Responsible Choices just got easier
At Lyreco, we want to transition from a linear model (take-make-dispose) to a circular economy by offering sustainable alternatives for all products we sell, improving the recyclability of both products and packaging, and offering waste recycling streams. Our target is to reach 90% of sales made by sustainable products by 2026.
People, Planet, Community
Introducing Sustainable Selection by Lyreco, a new assessment methodology, clearer and closer to our long-term sustainable strategy. This selection methodology will be assessed by SGS, and based on 3 criteria.

Lyreco Sustainability Selection Methodology
Our priority is to offer our customers a place they can trust to make sustainable purchases. This is why Lyreco Sustainable Selection relies on a clear and transparent product and service assessment methodology, based on sustainable criteria.

- Sold by a seller who is integrating sustainability into their business strategy
- AND provided with packaging recycled up to 80% of its weight
- AND recyclable or reusable up to 80% of its weight
In addition to these criteria, all products and services must comply with at least one of the 3 Lyreco sustainable seals: Planet, People at Work, and Community

Say Goodbye to “Great For” and the Green Tree
From 2023, the ‘GREAT FOR THE PLANET’, ‘GREAT FOR PEOPLE’, and the Green Tree icons will be removed. Based on the new assessment methodology, products could be identified with Planet, People at Work and/or Community pictograms.
