Are bamboo and bagasse always environmentally preferable?

The fibre name alone is not enough for an overall environmental comparison. FIBREWORK is an alternative-fibre selection direction; the source and content need confirmation for the particular grade. Environmental assessment also considers production, transport, use and end-of-life stages. Start the brief with a defined objective, such as source transparency, reduced material use or compatibility with an identified recycling route, then gather evidence relevant to that objective. Compare options for the same use and within consistent assessment boundaries, including processing and pack function. Where comparable data are unavailable, describe the verified fibre source accurately rather than declaring it environmentally superior to wood-based paper.
