Recycled Paper

TLC for the Earth!
We use 100% recycled paper. Our paper is processed chorine-free and produced with renewable energy.

Forest Stewardship Council: A non-profit organization set up to encourage the use of sustainable practices in forestry worldwide. New Leaf Paper is certified as a broker of FSC certified paper
