Green Information on Hawk Mountain Papers

In response to the growing concern for our planet, Hawk Mountain would like to share all the information we have in regards to the green processes used in the manufacture of our papers and improvements that we make every day.

All of our papers are manufactured without the use of chlorine or chlorine derivative.

Hawk Mountain's papers, (cotton and alpha-cellulose) are made to the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standards for product longevity. All are alkaline pH and buffered to assure durability and longevity.

One of our plants generates electrical power through the use Hydroelectric generation. Also, solid waste from the paper making process is reused as animal bedding and as a soil additive.

Hawk Mountain Papers is a small, family owned and operated company. We have been reducing, reusing, and recycling since the beginning. Much of our packaging is made from recycled materials. Even the cotton used to make our papers is recycled from actual cloth discarded from the garment industry.

We are constantly looking for ways to reduce the negative impact that our business makes on the environment. Over the years, we have reduced travel via air and automobile, we shut down all of our computers and printing equipment daily, and reuse paper when possible.
