GOING GREEN

These days, you are hearing the term "going green" everywhere...on television shows, commercials, and even sports broadcasts. Protecting the environment is becoming a top priority.

We, at Paterson Papers, want to clarify the terms used in our industry to promote environmental responsibility and familiarize you with the products which meet these requirements.

FSC Certified Papers  The Forest Stewardship Council is an international organization that works to conserve biological diversity and recognizes products that meet their standards for responsible forest management of forest resources.

Green Seal Certified Papers   Green Seal is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding the environment by promoting the manufacture, purchase and use of environmentally responsible products and services.

Wind Power Papers   Wind power is the fastest-growing energy source in the world. By investing in wind energy, we are aiding the growth of this emission-free, renewable energy.

Carbon Neutral Papers   Carbon Neutral is an emerging trend for both companies and individuals around the world. Verified emissions reduction credits can be purchased to fund renewable, emission-free energy projects. Through this process, there can be a zero net, zero climate impact in the making of paper. 

Recycled Papers   Recycled paper uses less water and energy and takes pressure off of landfill space and forest resources. Some benefits of using recycled paper include: reduced use of forest resources, less air pollution, less water pollution, less water consumption, less energy consumption, and less solid waste created.

At Paterson Papers and The Paper Store & more..., we offer a full range of products from Mohawk, Finch and Smart Papers that will enable you to fulfill your customers' requirements to save the environment and your own desires to "GO GREEN."

Below is a list of papers that we sell that are FSC certified. Many of them meet additional requirements: i.e. made from wind power and/or recycled content. You will find that labels are starting to come in with the FSC and other symbols.
