What is Natural Choice?

One of the most environmentally friendly paper products available on the market, Natural Choice is NORPAC’s most sustainable copy paper. Made with an advanced thermo-mechanical pulping process that uses steam rather than harsh chemicals, Natural Choice requires significantly less resources to produce, and was found by an independent life cycle analysis to have a 92% smaller environmental impact compared to similar papers in the industry.

What are the Benefits of Natural Choice?

NORPAC’s Natural Choice paper delivers both superior performance and sustainability. Ideal for high-speed printers, Natural Choice works well with both laser and inkjet printing formats. Its 96 opacity is higher than many heavier, 24-pound papers, making it an excellent choice for double-sided printing jobs.

Natural Choice is also the top choice for sustainable papers. Made in the USA with waste wood from sustainably grown forests, Natural Choice is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. Additionally, its production processes don’t use any of the harsh chemicals, plastics, or additives common in the manufacture of “wood-free” papers. Natural Choice is certified by Buyer’s Laboratory (BLI) to be 99.99% jam-free. And finally, Natural Choice is FSC™ (C132345) certified.

How We Do It
+
–

Natural Choice paper is produced using sustainable raw materials and advanced technology. In fact, NORPAC operates one of the most efficient thermo-mechanical pulping (TMP) systems in the world. Our process relies on clean steam and physical grinding to separate wood fibers, rather than harsh chemicals.

In addition, our process conserves far more valuable wood fiber and produces less waste than competitors making paper pulp using a chemical bath. That’s why our paper can be so cost-efficient as well as greener. Natural Choice delivers nearly twice the yield of standard copy paper.

Even most recycled-content copy papers are made using chemical pulping and require some new wood fiber. That puts the sustainability of Natural Choice a step ahead.

Less waste—a higher yield—and a greener production process.
