The campaign is working to generate consumer advocacy, influence industry regulators and secure support from relevant groups.
Heritage
In 2012 the first campaign was launched – Two Sides. At this time Two Sides did not exist as a standalone entity rather under the umbrella of the Australasian Paper Industry Association (APIA). It was not until September 2012 that Two Sides Australia became an independent entity and operated under its own Constitution.
The Two Sides campaign was developed from an existing global campaign which focused on promoting the environmental credentials of paper and print. Taking from the international campaign, a Membership Charter was developed, and despite expanding the campaigns further since 2012, the ethos of the Charter remains.
