Why Should I Purchase Recycled Content
Paper?
- Each American consumes over 730 pounds of paper each year!
- Annually, the United States produces and consumes over 80
million tons!
- Recovered paper constitutes nearly 37% of the fiber source
for the American paper industry. We can do even better.
Increasing the demand for recycled paper will boost
recycled fiber use, enable more trees to remain standing, protect biodiversity, and
protect our air and water.
Recycled content can be found in paper products such as copy paper, newsprint,
paperboard, post-it notes, paper towels, plates, napkins, stationary, notepads, envelopes,
and folders. For sources of these products and more, feel free to contact WasteCap. A good
online source of paper products and information is www.rethinkpaper.org.
Now recycled content copy paper is available through WasteCap! Just recently, WasteCap

and colored papers. For more information or a price quote, call 1-800-694-8355 or visit www.recycledproducts.org.
