Frequently Asked Questions
- Do Recycled papers perform as well as virgin materials?
- All Dolphin Blue's Recycled Booklet Envelopes and Stationary quality Business Mailing Envelopes are guaranteed to perform as well as any virgin material envelopes. Our premium brand Recycled Booklet Envelopes and Fine Business Mailing Envelopes are as high in brightness and as clean and smooth as any virgin material envelopes.
- What type of papers does Dolphin Blue use for stationery and booklet envelopes?
- Post-consumer recycled fiber is derived from paper that is recovered from the waste stream. That paper was used for its intended purpose and then placed in a bin for recycling. Through successful collection and processing, fiber from the recycled paper has been given a second life. The higher the post consumer recycled fiber content used in making Booklet Envelopes and Fine Business Mailing Envelopes, the more environmentally responsible that paper is. Paper with 100% post-consumer recycled fiber is paper that uses no virgin wood pulp. All Dolphin Blue's Booklet Envelopes and Fine Business Mailing Envelopes are made utilizing 100% post consumer recycled waste fibers In addition to the ecological benefits realized from making our 100% post consumer recycled envelopes from only waste paper fibers, our Booklet Envelopes and Fine Business Mailing Envelopes are also made from paper that is processed chlorine-free, FSC-certified, and made Carbon Neutral with Green-E certified renewable wind energy. Using recycled paper (in making Dolphin Blue's envelopes) that is processed chlorine-free means that the paper has been made without the use of chlorine or chlorine-containing compounds, eliminating the possible formation of dioxin, furans, and organo-chlorines. Using 100% post-consumer recycled, processed chlorine free, FSC-certified, made Carbon Neutral with Green-E certified renewable wind energy papers and envelopes benefits all of us. The benefits are as follows:
- Substantial energy is saved (generally, 95% of the energy used in making virgin pulp papers).
- Oxygen-producing forest habitat is preserved.
- Landfill-destined waste is eliminated.
- Dioxins, furans and organo-chlorines (known carcinogens) are prevented from forming in our ecosystems.
