Bright, White and Recycled?

It wasn’t long ago when buying paper with recycled content meant buying a significant downgrade in performance. Times have definitely changed. Today’s recycled choices are brighter, whiter and, if you haven’t seen them lately, worth a second look.

Because multipurpose and copier paper represent the highest usage in offices, choosing a recycled option will have the greatest positive environmental impact (reducing the amount of wood, energy and water that would normally be used to create your everyday paper). Many multipurpose and copier papers are available for those shopping for a greener alternative. With brightnesses that range from 84 to 92 and post consumer content that range from 10% to 30%, there is likely to be one that fits your performance standards and budget.

For presentations, cover stock, card stock and colored papers are available with recycled content. Colored papers generally have higher post consumer content, as the whiteness and brightness of the sheet are not a factor.
