What's Really New
|
Don't be fooled -
Most recycled paper products on the market labeled "RECYCLED" contain little or no Post Consumer Waste(PCW) paper, only wood chips and mill scraps. These "RECYCLED" paper products do little to address the environmental concerns of deforestation and landfilling reusable waste paper. Trees should be cut down to make wood and paper should be made back into paper instead of landfilling it. The "Real" recycled is Post Consumer Waste(PCW) which is paper used once and taken to recycling centers and then mills to be made back into paper. PCW is NOT mill scraps and high PCW products is the sustainable and most environmental choice. For recycling to work - There must be demand for the products made from recycled materials - studies point to "lack of demand" as a major factor hampering efforts to recycle waste paper. Treecycle's motto is "the other half of recycling" because recycling is a loop. We specialize in paper products with the highest quantity of recycled paper and post-consumer waste paper available. |
