The right thing to do for the planet
on February 12, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I try to live on the earth as gently as possible. That includes being a vegetarian and buying products that contain the highest post-consumer recycled content possible. So in my home office I use only 100% recycled paper. This is my favorite of the ones I've tried. Yes it costs a bit more to buy recycled but it's the right thing to do for the planet. When you buy unrecycled paper you are not paying the true cost of it--such as the environmental impact of bleaching the paper...
In this day and age recycling is what it is all about. So the least I can do is make the extra effort by choosing this paper over the others. it only costs a little more and makes me feel so good using it.
This paper is a bit thinner than the high grade ones but for everyday printing it is absolutely sufficient. Sometimes my printer (HP) refuses to pull thinner sheets in bout I have not had any problems with this one. It is bright white no gray tint at all. Especially for large print jobs it is nice as it keeps the stacks small/thin. I value the fact that Staples offers 100% paper. I hope more people will start using it in order to preserve resources. Great quality and value for a great price.
Very good paper and I like the fact it is not packaged in plastic but on the day of purchase I could have purchased other paper at less than half the cost. I expect the recycled and certified paper to cost more but this was hard to swallow.
I've been using this paper for years. It serves all my business needs. The quality is equal to any copier paper. I am happy to pay the small difference in price to support Staples' efforts at "greening" their product line. A side note: Staples has been at the forefront of support of recycling efforts and sustainable production. Cudos to them for their continued efforts
