The world’s largest database of high recycled content and Next Gen packaging and paper
Conserving forests is the fastest, most effective way to stabilize our climate. Leading and robust life cycle analyses consistently demonstrate that papers and packaging with high recycled and/or Next Gen (agricultural residue) content have a significantly reduced overall footprint as compared to those with Ancient and Endangered Forest fibre.
Therefore, this list includes Ancient Forest Friendly™ and other packaging and paper products that use high amounts of lower footprint feedstock. Whether you’re looking for recycled, Next Gen Solutions (agricultural residue), or FSC content, you can be sure that the products below are the best options Canopy has found on the market.
Criteria for inclusion is based on the Paper Steps, developed with and endorsed by the Environmental Paper Network. ‘Not Ranked’ products are missing information. Please see ‘Notes’ on the second page for more detail.
The information in each listing is based on voluntary data disclosure and publicly available information. Product specifications and/or availability are subject to change at any time.
If you manufacture or sell recycled and Next Gen paper products you think should be added to this list, or have an update to include, please email epd@canopyplanet.org.
Please see Canopy’s positions on Bamboo and Cotton Linter. We recommend asking producers of products with agricultural wastes and fibres to obtain RSB certification. Learn more about FSC Labels here.
