November 5, 2004—OfficeMax is adding a new 100 percent post-consumer paper to help contract business customers meet their environmental goals. Starting in 2005, OfficeMax will offer its North American business customers a 100 percent post-consumer paper that is manufactured with wind power and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled(TM) paper is manufactured without the use of chlorine and chlorine compounds, and is manufactured by Mohawk Paper Mills, the only mill in the U.S. using wind energy to make paper. It will be available through contract orders, and will not initially be available in OfficeMax retail stores.
Through the partnership with Mohawk Paper Mills, OfficeMax is the only national office products supplier to carry Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled paper in North America.
Mohawk Color Copy 100% Recycled is certified by the FSC, a nonprofit organization that encourages the responsible management of the world’s forests. The paper also is certified by Green Seal, a nonprofit organization devoted to environmental standard setting, product certification, advertising claims substantiation and public education.
