Microsoft Corp., Redmond, Wash., USA, this week announced that, in alliance with locally owned and operated Grays Harbor Paper of Hoquiam, Wash., it will switch to 100% post-consumer recycled printing paper in all of its Puget Sound facilities, including its Redmond headquarters. On April 22, Grays Harbor Paper will begin supplying Microsoft with a complete rollout of the product line to follow in the ensuing months.
The move will replace Microsoft's current printing stock, made with 30% recycled material, and the company anticipates the substitution will yield an annual savings of approximately 2,500 million BTUs in net energy, the equivalent of 750 million lb of carbon dioxide.
