Recycled File Folders

All Post Consumer Recycled File Folders listed on this page contain minimum 50% post-consumer recycled fiber. Post-consumer recycled fiber is derived from paper that is recovered from the waste stream. That means the paper has been used by a consumer, for its intended purpose, and has been placed in a bin for recycling. Through successful collection and processing, this fiber has been given a second life as it has been made into paper for File Folders once again. Many Recycled File Folders available contain 50% post consumer recycled fibers. That means 50% of the fibers used to make these File Folders are recovered and, 50% of the fibers are derived from virgin wood pulp, which comes from trees. ALL Dolphin Blue’s Post Consumer Recycled File Folders listed on this page are made from 30% recovered waste papers, using minimal virgin forest resources.
