FAQ's About "Rite In The Rain" All Weather Paper
Recyclability:
In spite of Rite in the Rain paper’s durability, it is totally recyclable as
standard paper, which is untrue of synthetic, or poly coated papers. Simply
recycle Rite in the Rain as you do other white or printed papers.
Recycled Fiber Content:
Rite in the Rain all-weather writing paper is a patented substrate created for
use in outdoor writing situations. Since this paper is designed for use in
extreme conditions it is manufactured with the most durable yet recyclable
components available. Recycled content pulp, as a result of the repulping &
reprocessing involved in recycling, produces a “weaker” substrate due to the
shortened fibers. This inherent weakness reduces the field-durability of paper
and as such is not used in the manufacture of Rite in the Rain paper. It is one
of the rare instances where virgin fiber adds significantly to the end-product
function. Papers designed for “office or indoor” uses do not require this
strength and as such can contain recycled fiber. This all being said, the wood
fibers we utilize for Rite in the Rain are purchased from FSC Certified sources.
By doing this it insures our product is manufactured with high environmental and
social standards and practices.
Post-Consumer Recycled materials:
Our unique “Polydura” cover and reference card substrate is extruded using 100%
post-consumer recycled materials. (Milk, shampoo bottles, etc.) No “virgin”
resins are used.
Environmental Impact of Manufacturing Process:
The process involved in the manufacture of Rite in the Rain paper was designed
to have zero impact on the environment. The process emits no air pollution and
the mill off-cuts are recycled back into the paper-manufacturing stream.
All printing plates and processing liquids are recycled.
100% of printing inks are soy based.
The modern facility and equipment are designed to be energy efficient.
