Reimagining Paper for the 21st Century

With the urgency of climate change, a rapidly growing number of consumers and large institutional paper purchasers have committed to transition to higher content recycled paper products as part of the solution. Therefore it is critical to improve and increase paper collection and reinvigorate and expand North American recycled paper manufacturing. 

Member organizations of the Environmental Paper Network have come together in a collaborative effort to address this challenge and build bridges with other stakeholders.  The RePaper Project will work to foster dialogue, create partnerships, and advance policy reforms that improve and increase paper fiber recovery and the manufacturing of recycled paper.
