Environmentally Preferable Products

Mohawk is dedicated to using raw materials responsibly, both in our processes and in our products. In addition to dedicating wind-generated electricity to manufacture several lines of paper, we make a wide range of 100% recycled papers and source our virgin fiber from well-managed forests. Our products allow our customers to make sound choices about the papers they use.

For example, specifying a typical 10K printed on Options, 100% PCW, Cream White, Smooth, 70 text (101,000 sheets or 14,140 pounds): 100,000 copies, 1c/1c, saddle stitch booklet, finished size 8.5x11, generates environmental benefits equivalent to:

• Not driving 7,070 miles in an average automobile
• 12,562 lbs. of atmospheric emissions eliminated
• 96,152,000 BTUs of energy not consumed
• 391.97 lbs. of waterborne waste not generated
• 135.74 trees not cut down
