Use Recycled Envelopes
Think of how many envelopes your business uses or throws away each day. Wouldn't you like to be part of an ever-growing part of the business community that is striving to become more eco-friendly and make the world safer and cleaner? There is an easy way to do this. It is to use recycled envelopes and other recycled paper products for your business. The best part is that it doesn't cost more, the products are attractive and available in a variety of styles and shapes and you can inform your customers that you are a responsible consumer who uses "green" products.
Using recycled envelopes and other paper products impacts the environment in many positive ways. It reduces the consumption of virgin resources and energy; it reduces water pollution and the amount of waste going into landfills. By buying and using products that meet or exceed the EPA's guidelines for recycled fiber content, you are making the world a better place.
Recycled envelopes and other recycled products are widely available. There are many online resources that provide quality products at competitive prices. There are "green" companies that offer paper products with as little as 20% post-consumer recycled content and those that offer products that are 100% post-consumer recycled content. The best part is that they are non-toxic, safer for the environment and where ink is used, it is usually soy or vegetable ink that is much better for our world.
The best part is that you can advertise your "green" status to your clients and customers. Many people believe in doing whatever they can to reduce the impact of humans on the world around us, and this is an excellent way to make your business' first impression a good one.
