Consumers expect brands to make sustainable choices, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend your annual budget on solar panels. In fact, just replacing products you already use with sustainable materials can make a dramatic impact on your own environmental footprint and the reputation of your brand among consumers. For example, choosing sustainable paper products for your office printers and bathroom supplies helps protect the environment without sacrificing comfort or quality.

4 Reasons to Use Sustainable Paper

1. Meet LEED Guidelines

For some property managers, having an LEED-certified building is a point of pride. If you’ve already installed insulated windows and high-efficiency appliances, investing in sustainably sourced tissues will help you stay compliant with LEED guidelines

2. Save Trees

3. Fewer Chemicals & Agents

Recycled paper towels are a sustainable option, but creating white rolls usually requires another foreign substance. Because they’re made from new trees, sustainably sourced bathroom supplies require less bleach and other potentially harmful substances.

4. Added Strength

Bathroom supplies made from recycled content have shorter, weaker fibers, which causes them to break easily during use. Sustainable paper towels and bathroom tissue provide much greater wet strength, which means customers and employees will probably use less of them.
