Eureka Recycling's Recycled Paper Co-op
Making Postconsumer Recycled Paper Available and Affordable
Every spring and fall, Eureka Recycling coordinates a buying cooperative that allows individuals, businesses, and organizations in the Twin Cities area to purchase recycled paper at a reduced cost. By combining smaller orders, we get a bulk discount from the supplier and pass the savings on to you. Buying through our co-op is the easiest and most affordable way for you to purchase environmentally friendly copy paper for your office.
The order date has passed for Spring 2010. Look for us again in October 2010!

About the Paper
We offer BPM (formerly Badger Paper) Envirographic 100 copy paper, which is 20# weight, 92 brightness and has the following environmentally friendly features:
100% Postconsumer Recycled Content
Paper made from 100% postconsumer waste is produced entirely from paper that comes directly out of someone’s recycling bin. Using postconsumer recycled paper helps eliminate the need for harvesting more virgin materials, and closes the recycling loop by creating a demand for the paper we recycle.
Processed Chlorine-Free
BPM Envirographic 100 is processed chlorine-free (PCF) from start to finish. Whitening paper without the use of chlorine or chlorine compounds eliminates the discharge of dioxin, a potent cancer-causing gas, as well as other pollutants that contaminate water.
High Quality
We realize that some people have concerns about the performance of recycled paper in copiers and printers, and we want you to know that postconsumer recycled content paper performs as well as virgin paper. In fact, Eureka Recycling and our co-op partners have purchased and successfully used over 22 million sheets of 100% postconsumer recycled paper in the last five years!
Colored Paper and Cardstock
You can buy letter-size colored paper in green, canary, blue and pink with 100% postconsumer recycled content. We also offer cardstock made with 50% postconsumer recycled content from Cascades Rolland division. White, letter size cardstock is 67# and contains 250 sheets per ream.
See our Buy Recycled Paper Fact Sheet (PDF) for more details on the benefits of purchasing postconsumer recycled paper.

Looking for Compostable Products?
While reusable cups, plates and cutlery are certainly the best choice for the environment, we understand that using compostable products is sometimes the only way to have a waste-free event.
We are no longer providing cooperative purchasing of compostable products, but we do have good news!
Eureka Recycling will soon offer a new and more comprehensive way to make your backyard barbeques, picnics, parties and meetings waste-free – a system complete with a way to get your stuff composted! Check back for more details or send us an email about your event so we can keep you posted.
For several years Eureka Recycling has offered compostable serviceware, cups and plates as part of our purchasing cooperative. In that time we’ve learned a lot about the issues and challenges associated with the use of compostable products. Clearly, the most important issue is the ability to actually compost these products (and your food waste) when your event is over. In order to truly reap the environmental benefits of a waste-free event, the compostable products, food waste and non-recyclable paper must be brought to a commercial composting facility – something most Twin Cities residents do not have ready access to at this time.
Our new system, to be launched later this year, will provide a convenient solution to this challenge.
