By purchasing mcr print's recycled paper you will be diverting waste from landfills, incinerators or other waste disposal options.   By using mcr print's post-consumer content papers you will be helping to expand the recycling market to ensure that recycling programmes stay viable and effective.   Our recycled stocks are of excellent quality and difficult to distinguish from virgin papers.

Recycled Paper contains recycled content which is measured as a percentage of post and pre consumer content.   Post consumer content is paper that has been used and returned through a recycling program.   Pre-consumer materials are those that have not met their intended end-use by the consumer including waste left over from manufacturing and printing processes.

mcr print sources Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) certified papers as an alternative to recycled paper and encourage the use of sustainable practices in forestry.   These managed forests foster a healthier environment, enhancing water, soil and air quality, protecting biodiversity and providing raw materials to produce paper in the long term.

No matter how much we recycle, the paper industry will always require some non-recycled fibres.   With sustainable harvesting both trees and non-wood fibres can be cultivated as sustainable sources of virgin fibres reducing the need to destroy old growth forests for paper.
