As the founder of The Paper Mill Store, I believe that environmental responsibility is a multi-faceted effort, and as a company we are doing our best to make sustainable smart choices. We use 100% wind power to provide the electrical needs of our company, we are offsetting 100% of the carbon produced by our outbound shipping, we are developing FSC papers, SFI papers and recycled papers, we are an FSC Chain of Custody certificate holder, and we are actively seeking ways to reduce our energy usage, utilizing more and higher percentage recycled materials in our packaging and we are encouraging our suppliers to offer more recycled paper and to employ more energy saving processes while providing our customers with the best paper choices possible.
As a long time paper company executive, I take the issue of a clean environment and sustainability seriously and I am personally very proud of our industry’s (and our) voluntary efforts to make more environmentally responsible choices and to make real substantiated changes in our collective business practices. I hope you find the information on sustainable paper helpful, and I wish you the very best in pursuing your own environmental goals.
