All Recycled Paper is Not Created Equally

When asking for recycled paper for your next print job, please keep in mind that all recycled paper is not the same. Post Consumer Waste (PCW) paper products are made from the contents of paper found in recycling bins. 


Typical "recycled" stock is actually made from mill waste that has never been used as a product and has always been reused or "recycled" to make more paper. We encourage our clients to choose papers that contain at least 30% PCW. 

Using PCW products helps protect our planet, saves fresh water and doesn't require chlorine bleach, a known toxin, to manufacture. So, "recycled" really doesn't tell you the whole story. Ask us what is new in PCW stock. 

We're always testing and researching new papers and can provide you with up to 100% PCW stocks for your next job.

FUN FACT: In 2007, 56% of the paper consumed in the United States was recovered for recycling. The 54.3 million tons recovered equals approximately 360 pounds per person in the U.S. and accounts for approximately 37% of the fiber used to make paper in the U..
