Saving forests starts with better paper choices.
EcoPaper Database
Conserving forests is one of the fastest, most effective ways to stabilize our climate.
Leading and robust life cycle analyses consistently demonstrate that papers and packaging with high recycled and/or Next Gen (agricultural residue) content have a significantly reduced overall footprint as compared to those with Ancient and Endangered Forest fibre.
Therefore, this list includes Ancient Forest Friendly™ and other packaging and paper products that use high amounts of lower footprint feedstock.
Whether you’re looking for Recycled, Next Gen Solutions (agricultural residue), or FSC certified content, look for it here.
