Two Sides North America Reports Strong Growth in Second Annual Love Paper Week

Portland, Oregon, February 26, 2026 — Two Sides North America (TSNA), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the sustainable attributes of print, paper, and paper-based packaging, announced the successful completion of its second annual Love Paper Week. The five-day celebration, held as part of TSNA’s ongoing Love Paper campaign, highlights the unique role of paper while advancing awareness of its sustainability and effectiveness among businesses, consumers, and communities worldwide.

Building on the momentum of its inaugural event in 2025, this year’s Love Paper Week achieved significant growth in industry engagement. The campaign generated more than 500,000 social media impressions and a 46% increase in website traffic over the previous year, as companies and organizations across the print, paper, and paper packaging industries leveraged the official Love Paper Week branding tools and resources provided by TSNA.

“We are extremely pleased with the results of this year’s Love Paper Week,” said Jules Van Sandt, Executive Director of Two Sides North America. “Our research continues to reveal widespread public misconceptions about print and paper. Love Paper Week provides companies throughout the supply chain with the tools to both celebrate the medium and educate the public about paper’s sustainability and enduring appeal.”

Looking ahead, TSNA is already planning for Love Paper Week 2027 and actively exploring opportunities to expand the resources available to participating companies and organizations.

“As misconceptions about paper’s environmental impact persist, campaigns like Love Paper Week play a vital role in supporting the industry and informing consumers and brands that paper and paper-based packaging remain a smart, sustainable choice,” Van Sant added.
