Envelopes and the Environment: An Awareness Toolkit from EMAF

Envelopes have become a “green” marketing choice. In fact, approximately 55 percent of the paper used by the United States envelope industry is recovered and reused. The envelope industry’s goal is to capture as close to 100 percent as possible. In addition to a “Please Recycle” campaign launched in July encouraging consumers to recycle envelopes, The Envelope Manufacturers Association Foundation (EMAF), Alexandria, Va., is helping to educate envelope industry stakeholders about sound environmental management.
