For example, did you know that bright paper and shredded paper often can't be recycled, or put in the same bin as white office paper?  And, that you should purchase recycled paper made from 100 percent post-consumer content?    

There are many paper products for purchase made from post-consumer content, including file storage boxes, dividers and wirebound notebooks.

Peruse all of the post-consumer options available through EcoGreenOffice. 

When it comes to purchasing recycled paper products, post-consumer is they way to go.  It means that product has actually been made from materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill.  There are many products made from post-consumer content other than white office paper, including the multicolor divider featured above, supplied through EcoGreenOffice.  And, this divider happens to be manufactured with wind generated electricity!
