1,320 companies have removed or amended unsubstantiated anti-paper statements
Two Sides has now challenged over 3,000 organizations worldwide found to be making misleading environmental claims about paper since its inception and more than 1,320 have, so far, removed or amended unsubstantiated anti-paper statements.The print and paper advocacy group said the rise in greenwashing is often driven by economic pressures, with many organizations shifting customers from paper-based communications to digital platforms to reduce their costs.
 
However, it said the transition is frequently accompanied by deceptive environmental messaging that misleads consumers into believing digital is a more sustainable option. This could include statements like ‘Go Green – Go Paperless’ or ‘choose e-billing and help save a tree’. Yet consumer sentiment does not support these forced digital switches. According to the 2025 Two Sides Trend Tracker report, 56% of consumers believe that the environmental reasons given for moving to digital are disingenuous and primarily motivated by cost reduction.
