What is Eco-Friendly?

As consumers, it can be challenging to break through the “green” clutter and understand what is eco-friendly. First and foremost, using environmentally responsible paper is essential. This includes paper with recycled post-consumer fiber content and sourced from an FSC-certified forest (Forestry Stewardship Council: http://www.fscus.org/). Products bearing the FSC logo guarantee that the wood/fiber used is from a certified well-managed forest. To find out what Wausau Paper is doing to be environmentally responsible click here.
