Printworks 100% Recycled Multipurpose Paper takes the common belief that what's good for the environment needs to be expensive and turns it on its ear. While most economical, recycled papers are made with 30% recycled fiber, Print Works Recycled Multipurpose Paper is 100% recycled, more than 3 times the recycled content but around the same price. Tread lightly on your wallet and the earth for sustainable savings. About 40 percent of all paper collected for recycling in the United States is sent on a journey of up to 7,000 miles to overseas markets, primarily Asia, where it is remanufactured into paper products, many of which are sent right back to the United States. This round trip, of up to 14,000 miles, creates a vast carbon footprint compared to paper recycled in the United States. Print Works 100% Recycled copy paper is REMADE right here in the United States! To reduce costs, Print Works 100% Recycled printer paper is made from raw materials sourced within 300 miles of the paper mill. This reduces the amount of transport: gas, energy, carbon, required to get the materials from origination to production. When you buy Print Works 100% Recycled paper, you are helping to keep materials out of landfills and promoting a sustainable process. At the mill, a proprietary process takes everyday food and beverage containers along with other print materials and separates the poly layer (the shiny stuff that controls temperature and moisture) from the paper layer. The poly is collected and remade into common household goods like composite fencing and decking. The paper that comes from the coffee cups, ice cream containers, soda boxes, and food packages is put through a chlorine-free cleaning, de-inking and re-pulping process to form the basis of this recycled paper.
