The great paper chase
Research
Finding an uncoated100% post consumer recycled paper stock suitable for a reusable greeting card was an education!
At this stage the winner is Resa Offset Recycled.100% of the fibres used
in Resa come from post consumer waste.
Additionally it is manufactured with the following initiatives:
• Process Chlorine Free (PCF) - no environmentally damaging chemicals
are used in the bleaching process.
• Waste water used in production is recycled and returned to its
source cleaner than it arrived.
• Energy used in production comes only from natural gas.
• Waste generated from the recycling and manufacturing process is
used to create a wide range of products including fertiliser, cement and
energy.
