Paper and printers get a bad rap for the amount of paper that is being used. By being certified to FSC standards, we
can ensure and confirm that the paper that is being sourced and, ultimately used, comes from a sustainable source such as the paper being from 100% post or pre
consumer waste or from a sustainably planted tree farm / forest.
