Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
1) 20lb and 24lb letter is premium purchased paper, the brand is called Suzano Report. The company, Suzano Pulp and Fiber has sustainable practice of deforestation and of course, working the paper so that it’s chemically sustainable for the environment. They have won several awards for their practices. Check them out http://www.suzano.com.br/suzano/en/negocios-e-produtos/forestry/ . I particularly find interesting the way they plant trees and take them down is more ecofriendly than most companies I hear about, a mosaic pattern that allows for regrowth. I have attached their sustainability report for reference. This is quite important since a majority of our printing is done on these two types of paper.
