As founder of The Paper Mill Store, I believe that environmental responsibility is a multifaceted effort, and as a company, we are doing our best to make sustainable, smart choices. We use 100% wind power, through the purchase of wind power credits, to meet the electricity needs of our company; we offset 100% of the carbon produced by our outbound shipping; we offer FSC papers, SFI papers and recycled papers and we are FSC & SFI Chain of Custody certified.

In addition, we actively seek ways to reduce our energy usage and utilize more and higher percentage recycled materials in our packaging. We also encourage our suppliers to offer more recycled paper and to employ more energy saving processes, while continuing to provide you, our customer, with the best paper choices possible.

As a long-time paper company executive, I take environmental and sustainability issues 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.
