No trees were cut down in the making of this paper

Reduce your carbon footprint with this 100 percent recycled, chlorine-free paper from Grays Harbor

Paper, paper, paper—we all use it. But paper consumption has a significant impact on the planet.

Although trees are a renewable resource, processing them into paper products is quite detrimental to the environment. Deforestation releases CO2, as does the transportation of the finished product from the mill to the user (whether by train or truck). Further, chlorine is used to bleach the pulp white.

And when chlorine bonds chemically with carbon-based compounds, such as paper pulp, it produces dioxins and toxic pollutants, which do not break down in water. Dioxin has been linked to cancers as well as endocrine, reproductive, nervous and immune system damage.


 

Harbor 100: a green, eco-friendly paper available in Vancouver

Grays Harbor 100 is one of the greenest, most eco-friendly paper Vancouver consumers can buy.

Why? First, the mill is only three hours south of Vancouver, making it the closest mill to the city and thereby having an extremely low carbon footprint compared to most papers.


 

Second, the mill runs on Green-e certified energy; by using a combination of biomass fuels, no fossil fuels are used to manufacture the paper.

Third, the paper itself is made with 100 percent recycled fibres and is processed chlorine free—meaning no trees are cut down to make the paper nor is any dioxin released. This is guaranteed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), whose logo appears on every pack of Grays Harbor 100 paper.

Lastly, the paper works great! BC Hydro has used Grays Harbor in every office across BC for the past 2 years. Additionally many municipalities across the US use it, too.
