Where can I buy recycled paper?

Question

I am looking to buy just regular binder-paper, but I've looked at Target, Office Max, and I think Office Depot, and non of them carry recycled paper. Do you know where to buy recycled paper? And any other 'green' products you recommend while you're at it?

Answer 1

I'm afraid recycled binder-paper isn't easily found... most other places have nice recycled copier paper... add more to your question if you want to know where you can buy it...

Several green (Office) products

    * Eco-stapler: uses no staples by actually cutting the paper and folding it into itself.  Doesn't work well for huge documents, but how often are you stapling 200 page documents anyway?

     * Refillable Pen:  save money, throw out less, be more green.  Enough said.  

      * Remanufactured Ink Cartridges: see above.  

Some of this stuff (like the eco-stapler) you have to ship online, but as long as you don't spring for Next Day delivery it won't be too bad environmentally.  Also, remember that the first step to being "green" is reducing your consumption, so don't let yourself buy more because it is environmentally friendly.  However, a little splurging now and then won't kill you, as long as you try to reduce, reuse, recycle every day.

Answer 2

buy it at staples. Its half as good for twice the cost of normal paper

Answer 3

I'm surprised you didn't find any there; I've bought recycled paper there for years.

Here are some resources with places to find recycled paper. They are 3 posts from a green living website. Scroll down to the "Wanna Try?" section of each page for links to retailers.

You'll find lots of other stuff in the "Tip Library."

Answer 4

Where are you based? We can supply REAL recycled paper, made from consumer waste collected from houses and businesses. And contry to belief. Recycled paper is CHEAPER than normal paper. However the big guys artificially fix the prices! Its nice and white. Can be laser printed, inkjet etc. We also have an off white that LOOKS recycled for people who want to make a statement. www.pcstore.net for contact details.
