Sustainability

We think GREEN
White Paper Co. is committed to sustainability including recycling everything and anything we can. In 2009, White Paper Co. was awarded the Certificate of Diversion for diverting 1,187 cubic yards of recycled material from landfills. That volume would fill 593 full sized pick-up trucks. As a result, White Paper Co. sequestered approximately 178 tonnes of carbon emissions. View 2009 certificate.
This was a significant improvement over 2008 of 791 cubic yards of recycled material or 396 filled full sized pick-up trucks. White Paper Co. made this possible with our company-wide Recycling Program which includes recycling all everything from print cartridges to cut-offs from print jobs. View 2008 certificate.

FSC Certification
FSC certification is given by the Forest Stewardship Council who is an international non-profit organization which has created a global standard for responsible forestry. They've developed regulations which ensure paper is chain of custody tracked from forest to shelf and to ensure it came from a forest-friendly source. Offering FSC Certified products and services allows us to help our customers reach their green objectives making a continued impact on preserving our environment.
