The upgraded paper, with an increased brightness rating from 84 to 92, displays noticeably sharper text and images and will produce higher quality prints for customers. The new paper is available to customers at no additional cost and will be used in most production equipment and self-service areas at all FedEx Kinko's retail centers.
"This move to offer brighter recycled paper is another step in FedEx Kinko's continued commitment to providing customers with quality products and services and promoting sustainability by supporting the use of post-consumer recycled-content paper," said Jon Cannon, senior vice president, U.S. Operations.
As a sustainable business practice, FedEx Kinko's uses paper made of 30-percent post-consumer recycled content for standard black-and-white copy and print orders. Customers preferring 100-percent post-consumer recycled paper will also benefit from the upgrade, as this stock is also being upgraded to a 92 brightness rating. As always, an upgrade to 100-percent recycled white paper will be offered upon request and at no additional charge.
FedEx Kinko's and the Environment
FedEx Kinko's offers more than 50 different kinds of post-consumer recycled papers, including 12 types of 100-percent post-consumer recycled content paper and two tree-free selections. In addition, FedEx Kinko's now carries 16 different papers that have received certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which provides a credible guarantee that the product comes from a well-managed forest.
FedEx Kinko's has a long-standing dedication to protecting the environment. In 2003, FedEx Kinko's adopted a Forest-based Products Procurement Policy, which includes vendor requirements surrounding sustainable forest management practices and a central set of recycled-content standards. Other initiatives include continuous improvement in energy conservation, using and promoting the sale of recycled products, and minimizing and recycling waste.
