COLLECTION POLICY
We hope all of our customers have kept well during the last year/18 months and managed to avoid the worst effects of the pandemic.
Whilst we are very happy for customers to collect from our trading unit we would ask them to place their orders online, or phone and pay in advance for the foreseeable future, in order to minimise contact. We hope customers will understand that, whilst this could be regarded as over cautious, our decision has been made with the best interests of customers and staff in mind.
Thank you for your cooperation, which is very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Chris Roberts

Brexit changes for customers within the EU from the 1st January 2021.
Previously we have not charged UK VAT if you were a business with a VAT number, but we did charge VAT if you didn’t have a VAT number.
In future there will be no extra tariffs, so the goods will cost no more, but you will simply need to pay your local VAT/customs charge before you receive your order. We understand that you will receive an email once your order has entered your country asking you to pay the charge which is applicable, which will usually have a link to an online payment system.
There are currently delays on EU deliveries, please allow approximately 4 weeks for delivery.

Our latest Carbon Capture Certificate. Oct-Dec 2019
We plant trees
For every tonne of paper we buy at Paper Spectrum we pay a percentage of the cost, through the Woodland Trust Carbon Scheme, which pays for new trees to be planted.
Each winter our MD Chris Roberts braves the cold and joins the Carbon Capture Tree Planting Day to help plant these trees.
During the quarter from October to December 2019 we created 37.20m² of new Native Woodland in the UK to remove 1.488kg of Carbon Dioxide.

Paper Spectrum help plant 13,000 in Derbyshire
Carbon Capture Tree Planting Day (Heanor, Derbyshire)
Joined by TV’s Julia Bradbury and the lesser known Paper Spectrum MD Chris Roberts, the tree planters met at the Woodland Trust’s Heanor site in Derbyshire and were greeted with fresh breakfast sandwiches, hot coffees and teas. After a series of brief introductions, the intrepid eco-warriors took to the fields armed with spade, wellies and determination, despite the bitterly cold November air.
The tree planting took place near Heanor in Derbyshire, previously the site of a former opencast mine the area has been transformed into a haven for wildlife and people. The Woodland Trust plan to develop the site further, creating the Young People’s Forest – a giant classroom for children and young people aged 10-20; they’ll be planting trees, learning about nature as well as designing, delivering and taking in part in activities.
As the day came to an end the final amount of trees that had been planted totalled a staggering 13,000, more than twice as many as the previous years planting day . Amongst the saplings that were planted were maple, oak and silver birch, hawthorn and hazel – all of which are broadleaf trees native the UK.
Carbon capture is the market leading environmental initiative which offers the opportunity to mitigate the CO2 emissions from our product purchases by planting new native woodland in the UK with the Woodland Trust.
