Xerox High Yield Business Paper is made from a mechanical pulping process, which uses 90 percent of a tree for papermaking pulp by overcoming operational problems, such as curling and dust, that prevent this type of paper from being used in digital print situations. This is opposed to the more traditional chemical pulping process, which Xerox says only uses 45 percent of a tree to create paper. The end result of the mechanical process is a reported production of 10 percent more sheets per pound at a quality equal to that of the chemically produced paper.

Xerox added its mechanically produced paper is also better for the environment in that it "requires less water and chemicals and is produced in a plant using hydroelectricity to partially power the pulping process. This process reduces fossil fuel use and results in up to a 75 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."

The Xerox High Yield Business Paper looks for now like it's only targeted towards the digital printing needs of those doing high volume printing needs like direct mail centers. But that's cool, since they certainly use way more paper than you or I ever will.

It seems a part marketing the product would have been to point out Xerox’s technology (in quelling curl and dusting) had been applied to this one also. Other positives like the opacifying effect of groundwood could have been included. A downside would be the possibility the high fuser temperatures would distil wood "extractives" and deposit them in other parts of the machine over time. With the high temperatures, odor could be a consideration also.

I am interested in the environmentally friendly "high-yield busness paper". Where do I purchase some?

Thanks,

I am so happy! Kudos to you. I told my office manager about this paper today and am trying to convince the billing segment of our office to change over. Congrats! Hopefully you have paved the way for other companies to change over and eventually for Americas standards for grades of whiteness to come down a few notches and accept that "beige is beautiful" (a new slogan? ;D)I think if you start advertising "beige is beautiful" it will begin to catch on in other markets and make it "cool" to not be the snoody company killing trees for white.
