As part of our sustainability mission here, we have curated a special section of eco-friendly paper that we always have in stock. This blog post will cover some of our more popular options. You can make a difference by simply choosing one of these papers. Going green doesn't have to cost a lot of green! Many of these papers are actually more cost effective than traditional options.
DOUBLE A Paper - 20lb text
This paper is nothing short of amazing. It is sustainably sourced from rapidly growing eucalyptus trees. The farmers grown these trees in the empty space between rice paddies. 100% of the water used is from Double A’s own reservoir. And if that isn't enough, the byproducts when making the paper are then used to generate clean power. The quality of this paper is also impressive. Its better than recycled paper.
This paper is suited for:
• Fliers, Handbills and Posters
• Spiral bound books
• Note pads
• Single use menus and take out menus
