New Leaf Paper. Paper with a Past, and a Future.

Choose climate protection over climate change.

Paper production is the fourth largest greenhouse gas emitter among all United States manufacturing industries. If American offices cut their use of unsustainable paper by just 10% (490,000 metric tons) it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 280,000 cars of the road.

New Leaf Paper lessens the impact on climate change at every step of our products’ lifecycles. From fiber sourcing, to production, to disposal, New Leaf Paper is committed to the most environmentally sound choices.

Fiber sourcing. Deforestation worldwide accounts for 25% of all carbon emissions into the atmosphere. New Leaf Paper sources fiber from the least environmentally harmful sources, including post-consumer recycled waste (PCW), de-inked recycled (unsold publications and printer waste), and FSC certified virgin paper (sustainable forestry).

Production. New Leaf Paper manufactures our products with biogas energy, wind power, and electricity offset with Green-e® certified renewable energy certificates. Learn more about Green-e®

Disposal. Paper is the single largest component of our landfills, where its decomposition emits methane, a gas with 23 times the heat trapping power of carbon dioxide. By using high percentages of post-consumer waste recycled content, New Leaf Paper diverts waste from landfill.
