Recycled Paper   

Recycled paper is available in all colors, including the brightest whites, and meets the highest technical standards. Tests have shown that recycled papers perform just as well as virgin papers.

UNH Printing Services offers a complete line of recycled paper, from copy bond to coated stocks. Samples are available at all of our locations.


Recycled Paper Items   

  • Post-consumer material (PCW): Paper we all take to the recycling center.
  • Process chlorine-free (PCF): Recycled paper is processed back into paper using no chlorine or chlorine derivatives. PCF eliminates dioxins from paper mill effluent.
  • Chlorine-free (TCF): No chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used to make the paper, which means the paper must come from new fiber.
  • Elementally chlorine-free (ECF): No chlorine gas but other chemicals containing chlorine are used for bleaching. ECF paper is often misrepresented as TCF.
  • De-Inked material: Waste paper that has had the ink, filler, coatings, etc. removed in the production of recycled paper.
