Sustainable Paper

Sustainable printing starts with sustainable materials. At Sustainable Mail™ we are committed to sourcing papers with the lowest environmental impact possible. Explore the details.

Carbon Balanced

100% of the carbon impact of manufacturing the paper used by Sustainable Mail is balanced through the Carbon Balanced Paper program operated in cooperation with the World Land Trust.  You can proudly feature the Carbon Balanced Print logo on your printed products to communicate your commitment to reduce your carbon impact.

Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper supports responsible use of forest resources across all paper manufacturing steps.  FSC chain-of-custody ensures that the paper can be tracked through FSC certified sources from the printer all the way back to the forest.

100% Recycled

Sustainable Mail ™ only uses paper made with 100% recycled fiber.  This is post-consumer recycled fiber that has been reclaimed from products after they have been used for their intended purpose.

Certified Carbon Balanced Printer

In 2023, Hudson Printing became a certified “Carbon Balanced Printer.”  We’re the first in North America to achieve this certification in conjunction with Carbon Balanced Paper North America, the Sustainable Paper Group, and the World Land Trust. 
The World Land Trust is an international conservation organization which works to protect the world’s most biodiverse and important lands, having the additional benefit of carbon sequestration. We believe this to be the most credible and impactful way to maximize the benefit of our carbon offsetting commitment. We’ve measured our carbon footprint and are working to reduce it. For carbon that we can’t immediately eliminate, we’ll offset via the conservation efforts of the World Land Trust. Hudson Printing is the first printer in North America’s to achieve the “Carbon Balanced Printer” certification by the World Land Trust. Printing with Hudson Printing or Sustainable Mail helps protect the most ecologically valuable land around the world. We believe that supporting the World Land Trust is the most impactful way to balance carbon emissions.
