Catalog contains about 2,500 environmentally preferable products. These items are equal in performance to standard office products.

Recycled Paper Products Our Office Depot-brand recycled copy paper contains 35% post-consumer recycled content. Higher than the standard required by the Federal government. By purchasing recycled paper instead of virgin paper, customers can help to reduce municipal waste, save energy, conserve water and cut air and toxic chemical pollution.

Remanufactured Toner Program Office Depot sells a wide range of remanufactured toner cartridges and also operates a national program to collect used laser and inkjet cartridges for remanufacture. Each cartridge reclaimed is one that does not wind up in a landfill. Each conserves, on average, the equivalent of half a gallon of oil compared to manufacturing one from scratch.
