Eco Friendly Stationery Softens Your Paw Print

Eco friendly stationery is becoming more and more popular with everyone and everything going green. Eco friendly stationery can be stylish and does not have to have that old, used-up feeling. Since it is made from recycled paper, eco friendly stationery has a palate of beautiful colors and textures that make its paper unique from all others. It’s really representative of autumn leaves, a collaboration of earthy tones set upon a paler muddy hue like mauve or beige. The grainy appearance of the paper is organic in itself and really resembled the inside sparkling detail of a sliced pear.

As far as recycled paper goes, paper made from other paper is your safest and cheapest bet. Paper is made by a process known as PCF which means Process Chlorine Free, which uses no chlorine.

The paper is thicker, and made from more time and involvement than the process of making regular and wasteful non eco friendly paper. First old recycled paper is blended together with a little bit of water in a basic household blender. Then the pulp needs to be pressed onto a rice rack and laid to dry in the sun for at least twenty-four hours. Pressing the pulp together helps the water to drain and reinforces the bonds made by the individual paper pieces. These bonds are critical to making a sheet.

Some recycled paper can be more expensive, depending on how it is done and the company. The price depends on the process and sources that are used. Be sure to do homework so that you find exactly what you are looking for and do not end up disappointed or upset. It is also important to remember that some of the most eco friendly papers are more expensive because they have to go through more processes instead of the careless mauling of forest trees. Sometimes a higher cost is the price we must pay to help save our environment.

For those looking to reduce their environmental foot print, recycled letters, stationery, office paper and envelopes are made and sold for alternative greeting card options. Even for those who are just looking for alternative ways to save trees and paper, using recycled paper is a step in the right direction.

And even if you don’t use stationery for sending letters to your friends and family, perhaps the inspiring sight of recycled paper will help push you in the right direction.
