Finding Ecofriendlier Household Paper Products - Scientific American
Helping consumers cut through Earth Day clutter, Marcal introduces Green Consumer Bill of Rights; urges close inspection of green claims. Submitted by: Marcal Paper Mills, Inc. It's a small step, but an important one, according to Marcal Manufacturing CEO Tim Spring: "This Earth Day, our goal is to get people to hit the reset button on their paper purchasing habits and understand how just the smallest of actions can do big things, but needn't cost more. In fact, Marcal Small Steps typically sells for less than traditional paper goods that are made by cutting down trees and often contain dyes and fragrances that Marcal doesn't use. To help consumers better identify its products and their environmental impact, Marcal Small Steps has added an Environmental Facts panel to the front of each label. Similar to popular nutrition facts panels found on food products, the Environmental Facts label points out what does -- and does not -- go into Marcal Small Steps products.
