Understanding Recycled Stocks:

When looking for recycled stock options, ask about post-consumer recycled content. These stocks are made from paper that has been used once and sent to a recycling center. Most commercial-grade paper is a blend of recycled and non-recycled material; ask about the percentage of recycled content in the stocks you are using.

"But isn't it brown?" No! The days of ugly recycled paper are well behind us. Modern recycled paper is virtually indistinguishable from virgin blends, and is available in nearly all weights and levels of brightness.

"How do I know it's recycled, then?" We only use paper distributors who are FSC Certified. This means that the international Forest Stewardship Council has verified their chain-of-custody to ensure that they are using responsible sources for their wood pulp and that they are verifying the claims of recycled content for each paper stock they sell.
