A Look Back

RPR has been an eco-conscious company for over a year now so what changes have been made?

RPR’s current list of more responsible office supplies:

  • 100 percent recycled paper for select printers in the office
  • 100 percent recycled paper towels
  • 100 percent recycled tissue paper
  • 50 percent post-consumer, FSC certified, Rainforest Alliance endorsed paper for ALL printers in the office.
  • 100 percent biodegradable, compostable, coffee cups made from renewable sources.
  • Cold cups made from compostable PLA plastic derived from corn.
  • Plates made from reclaimed, biodegradable sugarcane pulp.

RPR’s current changes in practices:

  • The back-up schedule has been rescheduled in order to allow the computers to be shut down each night (they were previously left on all night for back-up purposes).
  • Employees have been encouraged to use the back-side of already printed sheets for uses such as internal meeting agendas, scrap paper, or handouts during meetings.
  • Previously, employees received an 11" x 17" printout of current projects with a status update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. People now have access to that document online and will only receive a printed version if specifically requested.
