 When we started using 100% recycled Marcal Paper I wondered how it would be received by our employees and so far so good. No complaints about scratchy toilet paper, flimsy paper towels; Marcal's recycled paper products perform as well as the virgin paper products we used to use. And if you wonder if it has an impact; take a look at this info from Marcal:
Each and every day Marcal's recycling saves...6,000 trees - 2,000,000 gallons of water - 22,000 pounds of air pollution - 140,000 gallons of oil - 30,000 cubic feed of landfill space! Every single day! And over the course of a year Marcal recycles more than 220,000 tons of paper. And they do it without using chlorine bleach. |

 Does it really matter if I get a little greener? That's a question I've asked myself and you may have too. To answer, I'd like to share some information from the Natural Resource Defense Council's web site (complete article here).
If every household in the US bought 1 box each of 100% recycled facial tissues, toilet paper, paper towels & napkins (rather than products made from virgin fiber) more than 2 million trees could be saved annually. Looks like doing just a little can help a lot. How many rolls of paper towels do you use every year? Rolls of toilet paper, boxes of facial tissue? Imagine how many trees could be saved if we all bought 100% recycled paper products. If you're interested in trying any green household paper alternatives, we recommend Marcal Paper products. We carry more than 20 recycled Marcal Papers, all containing more than 30% post consumer waste. You can see our entire selection from Marcal Paper here. And learn more about shopping green with the NRDC's Shopper's Guide to Home Tissue Products.
