Clean, Renewable Energy
The Windpower™ Series represents our commitment to paper performance and the environment. The products are manufactured with emissions-free, wind-generated electricity through the purchase of 100% certified renewable energy credits. What's more, they're certified through the Green-e® Marketplace Program administered by the non-profit Center for Resource
Solutions based in San Francisco, CA.
Benefits of Wind Energy
- Emissions-Free. Clean energy without the climate-changing carbon dioxide common in thermal and electric energy.
- Renewable. No consumption of fossil fuel, a nonrenewable resource.
- Abundant and Reliable. An affordable and available form of energy.
- Conserves Natural Resources. Uses less than 5% of land where sited, minimizing habitat destruction and preserving open spaces.
Recycled Materials
Our Premium Recycled Series and Artagain pads maximize the use of recycled fibers to include high levels of post-consumer waste fibers. By using recycled materials in the paper-making process, we divert waste from landfills, consume less energy, and use less water than if using virgin fibers. The results are quality eco-friendly papers consumers naturally appreciate.
Alternative Fibers
Our growing collection of tree-friendly products includes artist quality papers made with cotton and hemp plant fibers. Alternative fibers, such as cotton and hemp, grow faster than trees and harvesting does not disturb natural ecosystems. In fact, one acre of hemp can produce as much usable fiber as four acres of trees. Our 100% cotton-based papers rely on cotton rags and recovered by-products of plants already grown for use in the textile industry.
Hemp can be pulped using fewer chemicals than wood because of its low lignin content. Its natural brightness prevents the need for chlorine bleaching. Also, paper made from hemp can be recycled several times more than wood-based paper. |
