Eco-Friendly Envelopes

The envelope industry has always cared deeply about the environment because we depend on a vital natural resource, namely trees. Every sector of the industry – paper companies that harvest trees; pulp mills that turn the trees into paper; companies that supply window films, inks, gums and adhesives; envelope manufacturers; and envelope users – works hard to minimize its impact on the environment. We also work closely with envelope users and ultimate consumers to maximize envelope recycling.

In this section, you’ll find information about new initiatives such as the Envelope Manufacturer Association’s (EMA) “Please Recycle” program and the EMA Foundation’s Environmental Awareness Toolkit. The environment will continue to be a top priority for the envelope industry. We are committed to working with all stakeholders to maintain the economic benefits that the free use of mail provides while protecting the natural resources that sustain us.
