When you use paper products, you’re doing your part to help the planet. Because the paper, packaging and boxes you rely on every day are designed to be easily recycled. In fact, paper is one of the most recycled material in the U.S., and it comes from a natural and renewable resource—trees. Choosing paper products encourages U.S. forest owners to grow and maintain healthy forests, nearly twice the amount that’s used to make the products we need. Follow us on social for more.
