How Do I Make An Informed Decision?

One environmental product line-up represents recycled and virgin products that are sourced from well-managed forests certified to the Forest Stewardship Standards (FSC) or Sustainability Forest Initiative (SFI) standards.

Using recycled paper minimizes the need to use virgin trees and allows the re-use of paper that would otherwise go to the landfill. In essence, using papers with recycled and post-consumer waste (PCW) content has a positive impact on the environment by using less water, energy, and chemicals compared to manufacturing virgin paper.

Forest certification systems such as the (FSC) and the (SFI) are far more comprehensive. Think of recycling and post-consumer waste as a back-end response for sustainability. Forest certification systems encompass a broader scope of social, environmental. and economic implications of forestry management and specific principles and standards need to be met in order be deemed a well-managed forest. Think of this as more of a front-end approach to sustainability. Combining the front-end and back-end together yields the best outcome for environmental sustainability.
