Below is a list of some of the most sustainable paper companies to choose from. Always use some sort of post consumer waste (PCW), or certified fiber such as FSC or SFI as a bottom line when choosing a sustainable paper. Taking it a step further and even more environmentally responsible is choosing a Green-e or carbon neutral paper.
