| Without rivalry, these premium elegant envelopes make the biggest
environmentally friendly statement to those receiving your letters. No other
envelopes in North America have a higher hemp content. And with the remaining content being
100% post-consumer recycled paper, zero trees are cut down for these envelopes. Of
course, the hemp / recycled paper that makes up these envelopes is also chlorine-free, meaning that no
environmentally destructive chlorine bleach is used to make it artificially
white. But superior quality is not sacrificed by forgoing a pure white
finish—these envelopes are only just off white, giving them a sophisticated
appeal.
Why Hemp Envelopes?
Hemp is a renewable crop, like wheat, which can be harvested year after year
without damaging ecosystems. Trees, on the other hand, take dozens (sometimes
hundreds) of years to mature, and are home to a myriad of species. Cutting down
trees for paper has devastating effects on ecosystems and individual animals.
While post-consumer recycled paper is a fabulous option, tree-free paper from a
renewable crop like hemp is truly sustainable, in the purest sense of that word.
It is one thing to show the world that we can live off of its waste
(post-consumer recycled paper), but it is quite another thing to show the world
a sustainable alternative to cutting down trees in the first place (hemp paper).
While hemp envelopes are not yet as cheap as recycled paper envelopes, their quality and
activism potential make them more than worth the extra cost.
Let Others Know that You Use Hemp Envelopes!
These hemp envelopes do not have any printing on them. However, why use
brilliant hemp paper without educating others in the process? After all, if you
don't tell them that it's hemp, they won't know! You may download this
MS Word document template to print onto the back your envelopes. It contains a
line explaining the composition of the paper, so that those opening your
letters will know exactly what they have in their hands. If you require a format
other than MS Word, please email us at service@downbound.com.
