Recycling is a good thing

I have bought recycled paper for several years now. My way of helping out the environment. I can't tell the difference as to the quality of the paper or and jamming issues from non-recycled paper. The color is a crisp white that doesn't fade or yellow and it goes through my printer without jamming - ever. A good product for the money. Only draw back is it is more expensive that the regular paper but I do feel it is worth the difference to save a few trees. They have 30% recycled as well but I've always gone for the 100%. Truly can't tell the difference.
I want to be ecofriendly & always try to be as sustainable as I can. I feel good purchasing this paper since it is 100% recycled. It has performed well for most of my purposes. I also have a higher grade 100% recycled paper which I save for special projects or documents.
If you are behind environmental improvement and recycle "stuff" from your house and office don't forget to complete the cycle and actually use products made from recycled material. I have been using this bright 100% recycled paper for years and find it totally acceptable. Staples also has recycled note pads and envelopes to help make an active market for the valuable business of recycling so that the folks who process the paper you have recycled ultimately have folks who buy their products. Do your part at both ends of the cycle to help the environment
I'm always glad to find recycled products and those made without chlorine. This paper works without problem and I buy it exclusively. I'm hoping that Staples will increase their selection of recycled products.
We kept getting jams in our printer/copy machine and called the tech guy to come out and check it out. He noticed how much the paper was curling. This was especially true when we were printing double sided. We changed the orientation of the paper trays and it cut down on some of the curling but then we realized it was this paper. The technician said it was due to humidity but when we use a different brand we do not get the jamming problems. I have been happy with Staples customer support but I will not be buying their recycled paper any more.
