Can I request environmentally preferable paper stocks for my project?
Find out how to specify sustainable paper options when quoting your project with Bradford & Bigelow.
Yes . Bradford & Bigelow offers FSC and SFI certified paper stocks as well as recycled content options for projects where responsible sourcing is a priority. These options must be requested at the quoting stage so the right stock can be sourced and chain-of-custody documentation maintained.
What "environmentally preferable" means in print
Environmentally preferable paper stocks generally fall into a few categories:
- FSC or SFI certified — paper from responsibly managed forests with chain-of-custody documentation from harvest through finished product
- Recycled content — paper made from post-consumer or post-industrial recycled fiber, reducing demand for virgin wood pulp
Bradford & Bigelow can source FSC and SFI certified stocks. Talk to your representative about recycled content availability for your specific project specs.
How to request sustainable paper
Let your Bradford & Bigelow representative know your sustainable paper requirements during the quoting process. Specifying certified or recycled stock after a job has been scheduled may not be possible, so it's important to communicate these requirements early.
Does sustainable paper affect cost or availability?
Certified and recycled stocks may carry a cost premium over standard house stocks and availability varies. Your B&B representative can provide options and pricing at the quoting stage so you can weigh the tradeoffs for your project.
