Notes is 100% Wind Powered
All of Notes is 100% powered by Green-e certified wind electricity. Electricity production is the main source of U.S. industrial air pollution. Fossil fueled generators cause 67% of sulfur dioxide emissions, 23% of nitrogen oxide emissions, and 40% of man-made carbon dioxide emissions. These emissions lead to smog, acid rain and haze and increase the risk of climate change. However wind energy causes nearly zero volatile organic compound emissions.
As a customer of Notes all of your printed products, regardless of paper type, are printed with Green-e certified wind power.
Eco-Friendly Inks
- 100% of Notes inks are either vegetable or soy based
- Vegetable based ink is made using vegetable oil instead of petroleum based oil
- Lower in volatile organic compounds
- Vegetable inks are safe, sustainable, and more easily deinked
- Vegetable inks produce bright colors
Recycled Paper
- Paper contains a percentage of post-consumer or pre-consumer waste or a combination of both
- We go by paper manufacturer's claim and assume it is credible
- Recycled paper uses less energy and possible chemicals to produce than virgin paper
- Reducing landfill usage everyday. We recycle well over 250,000 lbs of paper back into paper products
- All Notes environmental stock standards are 100% recycled
