TREECYCLE RECYCLED PAPER | |
| Treecycle was started in 1989 in Bozeman, Montana. The goal was to offer the best recycled paper available to Montana and rest of the country. It was through involvement in recycling issues that we learned that the most important cog in the recycling loop is to get these products out to the public, which in turn creates demand at your local recycling center for your waste paper. |
We have become a part of the environmental movement, by offering many products which significantly reduce the use of virgin resources, reduce energy consumption and water pollution, and reduce waste going to landfills and incinerators. To this goal we provide what information we can about the issues.
Since our 1989 inception in Bozeman Montana, we've grown as a company and offer a larger variety of recycled paper products and now eco-friendly cleaning products. We started out small and loyal customers in Bozeman and Helena helped to get Treecycle off its feet. Treecycle opened a Missoula Montana office in the early 1990's and now Missoula is Treecycle's largest market. Treecycle.com was started in 1997 and it gave people across the world information and access to recycled paper. Now Treecycle has customers in all 50 states, Canada , Puerto Rico, Dominican Repubic and gets inquiries from around the world. Currently, one-third of our sales volume is in Montana and the other two thirds is out of State. The States and Montana cities with the most sales in descending order are Missoula, California, Bozeman, Helena, Washington, Colorado, Oregon, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Texas, Minnesota, Tennesse, Wyoming & North Carolina.
In 2002, Treecycle became a more efficient company by consolidating operations to one office in Missoula, Montana. From 2002 until summer 2005, Treecycle was located in a turn of the century home office in downtown Missoula, Montana. We outgrew our space and in summer 2005 moved to our new metal building(see picture below) on 10 forested acres in Huson, 25 miles West of Missoula. With more storage space, the new building has made Treecycle.com a much more efficient mail order company. We still haven't forgotten what helped Treecycle become what it is today and we still offer free shipping to our loyal Montana customers in Missoula, Helena and Bozeman, Montana. Our crack staff is a fine collection of conservation-oriented individuals. We are dedicated to offer the best recycled papers at the lowest possible price by reducing overhead where possible and offering few frills and no fancy catalogs. Treecycle's customers include a wide array of conservation and environmental groups, many individuals and buying clubs, natural food stores, restaurants, bakeries, law firms, consulting firms, and a whole host of other businesses.
