Have you switched out your old office light bulbs for energy efficient ones? Have you cut back energy costs by cutting back on heat or not turning on as many lights? Have you implemented recycling procedures for office employees or cut back on CO2 emissions by having more in-house sales calls? Have you done any of the above or even something else? If you answered yes to any of these then you're on your way to becoming a greener business.
Another way to really be GREEN is to switch to an environmentally friendly paper. You may have seen the messages at the bottom of emails warning you to think twice before printing. Less printing means less money spent on paper and ink and more money in your pocket. You've been told over and over and over again that printing and paper are wasteful and harmful to the environment. Well I'm here to tell you that that's simply not true. I am hereby giving you permission to print out those emails, fax those PO's and re-print those invoices!
Paper is important, and i think Lewis Fix from Domtar says it best when he says,
"Paper is a sustainable, renewable, recyclable, plant-based product that has played and essential role in the development of mankind. Great ideas are started on paper. The world is educated on paper. Businesses are founded on paper. Love is declared on paper. Important news is spread on paper. Justice is rendered on paper. Rights are guaranteed on paper. Freedoms are declared on paper."
"The truth is, with modern environmentally sound forestry practices, high levels of recycling and the sustainable nature of paper compared to other materials, paper is a truly a fantastic product."
We at Economy Paper Company couldn't agree more. Below is just a taste of some of the environmentally friendly papers Domtar & EPC can offer you and your end user.
