Spotlight on Clients making an eco-conscious paper choice

Young's Printing salutes our clients who have made an environmentally conscious choice in paper.  Spotlighted in this blog are Liberty Bank, The Rockfall Foundation, and The Rye County Day School.


 Liberty Bank is the oldest mutual bank in the State of Connecticut and has 38 branches located throughout central, eastern, and shoreline Connecticut.

Liberty Bank's deposit and acknowledgment slips, as well as several forms are now printed on a Rolland Opaque50 paper that is 50% post-consumer recycled and 50% FSC certified fiber, meaning that it is sourced from well-managed forests.  Opaque50 is also process elemental chlorine free.  This paper is FSC certified t.

Liberty's previous paper choice did not contain any post-consumer recycled materials.  The brightness quality with their new paper choice has even improved despite the recycled content!


The Rockfall Foundation is one of Connecticut's oldest environmental organizations and supports environmental education, conservation and planning initiatives in Middlesex County. Their mission is to be a catalyst--bringing people together and supporting organizations to conserve and enhance the county's natural environment.

The Rockfall Foundation's generates its Chronicle newsletter, letterhead, envelopes, and invitations on Neenah PC100 natural paper.  This paper is a sustainable choice that is made from 100% post consumer fiber and is process chlorine free. This paper is FSC certified, 100% Green-e certified, Green Seal certified, and Carbon Neutral Plus.  

Rockfall's previous paper choice was a mix of virgin and recycled fiber, but their new paper choice has improved to 100% recycled materials and the quality of the paper's brightness and opacity remain high.


Rye Country Day School located in Rye, NY is a co-educational, college preparatory school dedicated to providing students from pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 with an excellent education using both traditional and innovative approaches. 

The Rye Country Day School has just recently begun printing it's capital campaign newsletter on Primavera Silk paper produced by New Leaf, that is made from 80% recycled content, three-quarters of which is post-consumer waste. The remaining 20% is FSC certified.  It is also elemental chlorine free. This paper like the other post consumer material papers listed in this blog has a high brightness quality of 93. 

We applaud these and all Young's Printing clients who have made the choice to switch to sustainable paper sources.  They have found that being environmentally friendly does not require sacrificing paper quality.
