RECYCLED PAPER EXPERTISE
If Environmental Stewardship is at the core of
your business principles, we will work on your
behalf to find the mill that meets your
objectives and values.
We focus on the big environmental picture, not
simply higher PCW, by asking the mills the right
questions

• Can they push the envelope with increased post
  consumer waste?
• How do they treat their waste water?
• Do they practice Sustainable Forestry?
• Are the claims of Recycled Content legitimate?
• Do they harvest old growth or Boreal forests?
• How do they manage their energy?
• Do they have their own de-inking facility?
• What is their position on genetically modified
  organisms?
• What is the shipping distance from the mill to
  your printer?
• Do they have involvement in sustainability
  organizations?
• What type of pulp bleaching process are they
  using?
• Are they working to mitigate climate change and
  emissions?
• Do they have transparent environmental
  reporting?
• What Chain of Custody/Forest Certification
  Systems are in place?
• How well does their paper perform on press?
• Were Human Rights violations Made during
  manufacturing process?
• We will even ask if they recycle their office
  paper and soda cans.
