Online printer launches eco-friendly stock assortment

Chanhassen, Minn. – Printing can get a bad rap. Naysayers argue it's not sustainable and it's cutting down all our trees. Fortunately, times (and processes) have changed. Majorly. Online printer Smartpress is honoring World Nature Conservation Day by putting the spotlight on paper sustainability and eco-friendly stocks.

Smartpress offers a wide range of eco-friendly and recycled paper stocks, now including Hemp made of 30% hemp fibers, 40% recycled fibers and 30% FSC certified virgin pulp. It's sourced sustainably through conscious growing practices.

Why is Smartpress' hemp paper so eco-friendly?

It's made of 30% hemp fibers, 40% recycled fibers and 30% FSC certified virgin pulp, sustainably sourced through conscious growing practices.

Hemp paper can be recycled up to eight times, with the plants themselves growing much more quickly and densely than trees.

The plants don't require chemical controllers since they're naturally resistant to fungi, insects and diseases.
