Paper 101

When looking to make an environmentally responsible paper purchase, you're looking for more than the recycled symbol.

Post-Consumer Waste Content (PCW): The single most important factor to consider is the percentage of post-consumer waste content. Paper with post- consumer content contains recycled fiber from paper which has already been used by the consumer and then collected for recycling. The higher the level of post-consumer content the better.

Today, more and more products are available with post-consumer recycled content including: file pocket portfolios, hanging file folders, report covers, various storage boxes, file holders, file covers and three-ring binders. By using recycled post-consumer contact paper, we save trees, water and prevent the air and water pollution, soil erosion and destruction of wildlife habitats associate with harvesting.
