Creating the World We Want

In 2002, Recycled Office Products Inc. first distributed 100% post-consumer, processed chlorine-free paper nationwide. To appreciate the magnitude of this development, one must realize that in 1999, the best paper available in many areas, including Washington DC, was 30% post-consumer, bleached paper.

In 1999, Recycled Office Products Inc. and the Washington DC based Resource Conservation Alliance, a project of Ralph Naders non-profit The Center for Study of Responsive Law, launched the DC Chlorine-Free Buying Club. This was the beginning of making unbleached, high post-consumer paper available in the 48 contiguous states.

Since 1999, Recycled Office Products Inc. has distributed over 119 tons of paper with impressive environmental savings. Compared to virgin paper, 119 tons of 100% post-consumer paper saves:

1,178,100 Gallons of water
805,035 Kilowatt Hours of Energy
805,035-1,127,049 Pounds of Carbon Dioxide Emissions
3,213 Full grown trees
1,071 Cubic Yards of Landfill Space, since paper represents 38.1%
by weight, of the municipal solid waste stream
*according to USA EPA guidelines and the Maine Energy Education Project

In addition, this paper produces no dioxin. Dioxin has been connected with many cancers, infertility, learning disabilities, diabetes, and other critical health problems.

The Club is a great example of what can happen when committed purchasers and distributors unite their energy and purchasing power. Together we can do what none of us can do alone.
