Office Depot recycled paper gets FSC certification

BOCA RATON, Fla. Office Depot announced that its top-selling recycled content paper, Office Depot Green 30% Recycled EnviroCopy Paper, will also be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified. The first FSC-labeled packages arrived in December and will be available in Office Depot stores in the U.S. and online at www.officedepot.com/yourgreeneroffice during the first quarter of 2010.

“By adding FSC-certified virgin fiber to EnviroCopy 30%, Office Depot has dramatically simplified the selection process for sustainable papers," said Yalmaz Siddiqui, director of environmental strategy for Office Depot. "Many papers claim to be sustainable, but only Office Depot Green 30% Recycled EnviroCopy Paper addresses the key aspects of sustainability: recycled content, responsible forestry at the FSC standard, Green Seal certification, and social benefits from HUB sourcing – all at an economical price.”
