Earth Friendly ENVELOPES are more than just recycled paper. It is important to consider the manufacturing process. The table below, from Mead Westvaco, shows that manufacturing side-seam envelopes impacts the environment much less than traditional envelopes. They take half the wood, a third of the energy, give out a third of the emissions, a third of the toxic waste, a third of the Volatile Organic Compounds and half the waste water.
Use corn-based window material which is clear and strong like petroleum based material, but is totally compostable.
