The mail order industry buys 100% recycled paper jointly 1998.09.15

The Japan mail Order Sales Association, which is organized by approximately 300 telecommunications companies in Japan, has strengthened the joint purchasing business of printing paper used in the Mail order catalogue from October. The new materials are scheduled to be purchased at a pace of about 16000 tons annually, mainly in recycled paper with 100% recycled papers and other varieties such as coated paper and fine paper. In response to environmental issues, the company aims to compress the catalog production costs of its member companies. So far the joint purchase was limited to 100% printing paper on wood valves.
