SGDH helps with Environmental Issues... SWEEEEEET!


Waste paper from your office or home is called "post-consumer" waste. It is assumed that recycled paper is made from these wastes. This isn't necessarily so. Many of us feel deceived when we learn that most paper products labeled recycled contains little post-consumer material.

It is important for consumers to keep up the demand for this Post Consumer Waste (PCW) now that the recycling of paper is as viable as it has ever been.
Post-consumer wastepaper is choking our landfills. It is going to incinerators. There is no shortage of wastepaper and we need to concentrate on using it; and taking our waste paper to the recycling center. PCW makes up a very small percentage of the paper fiber used in the US.

It is exciting to think that recycling can really do something. We can keep this trend going by demanding high PCW content in our recycled paper.Waste paper being recycled was most likely made with chlorine the first time around. The problem with chlorine is the pollution from its use initially to make the paper and not the paper once it is made. The advantage of Banana, Coffee and Tobacco Paper is that it combines the virtues of using PCW and agricultural waste.
