I'm looking for reams of 100% recycled paper that doesn't cost twice as much as non-recycled paper -- yes, Staples, I'm talking to you. We got about six reams for free a few years ago when Staples was giving away reams in exchange for old printer cartridges. We got a bunch after going to one of those cartridge recycling places and begging them to give us some empty cartridges. Staples doesn't do that anymore, unfortunately. And they charge *way* too much for recycled paper. Probably still trying to recoup the cost of what they gave away a few years prior.
So I'm looking to spend about $4 for a ream. Like I would at Wal-Mart for non-recycled paper. What's up with that anyway? "Well, this paper is from used material, not new, so let's charge twice as much for it. And if it's only 30% used it should cost less that 100% used." It used to be that way with recycled toilet paper too. Anyway, I digress...
Anyone who knows of anywhere online perhaps where this is possible, could you please reply? I think it would cost to import it from the States, so there's no point in going with U.S. etailers. Any help would be appreciated.
