Recycle, Recycle, Recycle.

Recycling is an easy way to set a good example for others and for the surrounding youth. Recycling sends a positive message that will be heard.

A majority of counties in New Jersey recycle merely half of all recyclable materials. If people are nagged about the state of the environment, but have no example to follow, nothing will be accomplished.

One company that knows the importance of recycling is Marcal. In the 1940s Marcal developed the technology to de-ink wastepaper so that it could be recycled into pulp for tissue paper. Since this development Marcal has been a growing leader in its industry.

Owned thus far by four generations of family, Marcal established the paper recycling process. All of the company's products meet or exceed EPA guidelines for recycled products. The leading company uses chlorine free processing and does not use mercury in the pulping process. Marcal produces paper towels, paper napkins, facial tissue, and bathroom tissue products.

Marcal is a great example of what one person's wasted paper can become. Instead of talking about the declining environment, we should do our part to help. After all, this is our home!

The Green Points System

GreenOfficeStore.com has a great feature to make your "green" shopping quick and easy. This feature is The Green Points System. The point system graphic can be found on every product detail page.

Similar to hotel stars, GreenOfficeStore.com products are awarded leaves based on how "green" they are. Each product is reviewed for its "green" features. The product is then given points based on its features. For example, a product that is recycled with 100% post-consumer waste is given more points than a product that is simply recycled.

Don't worry if the product you are viewing has only two leaves. Unlike other sites, GreenOfficeStore.com ONLY sells products that are environmentally friendly.

The Green Points System makes it quick and easy for the customer to find a product. Instead of searching through thousands of products for the four that are environmentally friendly, GreenOfficeStore.com provides "green" choices.

Not only do we provide choices, but GreenOfficeStore.com also helps in the sometimes difficult decision making process. Each product description includes how the product is environmentally friendly!

We appreciate your efforts to purchase "green" supplies and we want to make it easier for you. The Green Points System is just another way we help you find exactly what you're looking for.
