Jacqui: ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSIP & SUSTAINABILITY

The item most frequently encountered in landfills is plain old paper- on average, it accounts for more than 40% of a landfill’s content. This proportion has held steady for decades and in some landfills has actually risen.

NEW LEAF PAPER
New Leaf Paper has a vision for a sustainable paper industry, inspired by natural systems. Natural systems are cyclical: waste from one process is food to another. Natural systems are sustainable: They create beauty, abundance, biodiversity, and are life supporting. They do not pollute the water we drink and the air we breathe.
In pursuit of this vision, New Leaf Paper works with paper mills in North America and across the globe that incorporate sustainable design principles.

What Makes a Paper Environmentally Responsible?
Fiber source is the primary factor in determining a paper’s environmental impact. New Leaf Paper maximizes post-consumer recycled content in all of its product lines. The vast majority of fiber for New Leaf Paper products comes from the following sources:
• Post-consumer recycled
• De-inked recycled (unsold publications and printer waste)
• FSC certified virgin fiber (sustainable forestry)
As demand for New Leaf Paper grows, the message is clear: paper consumers want to minimize the impact of their paper usage and help preserve the environment for future generations.
