VANCOUVER—The number of environmental printing and writing grade papers available in North America has more than doubled, from 97 to 228 in the past 18 months, according to a press release from Canopy, formerly Market Initiative.

The sharp increase in eco-paper options is a result of large paper buyers, including Canopy signatories, requesting more papers with ecological attributes.

Developed and maintained for the past 10 years, Canopy’s eco-paper database tracks the quality of papers and rates so consumers can be informed of the best ecological options. Contact: Canopyplanet.org
