OfficeMax Offers Recycled Paper at Self-Serve Copy Machines

Customers can now choose 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper when making self-serve copies at OfficeMax.

Copy machines sport “Think in Green” stickers to encourage customers to choose the recycled paper. Customers can upgrade from 30 percent to 100 percent post-consumer paper for no charge for a limited time.

OfficeMax has made other efforts to help consumers make greener choices. Last month, it worked with TerraCycle to stock its shelves with seven new products made entirely from waste. TerraCycle products include binders, pencil cases, trashcans and cleaners.

Other office supply stores, such as Staples, also offer recycled paper for copying and printing.
