Paper Database

Since January 2011, the WWF (World Wide Fund) has an online paper database.

And what’s a paper database?

It’s an online database to help buyers to find paper products with the lowest environmental impact.

It’s doubly useful: a compilation of organized information in a database, easy to maintain, update and search, combined with a low environmental impact when making purchases, paper purchases.

The Check Your Paper database assesses the environmental quality of paper products based on various information, from forest management, use of recycled and recyclable fibers, CO2 emissions, amount of waste produced to water pollution.

This is another way to reduce your environmental footprint by using online databases.
