Tree-free-cum-sugar-free envelopes

FRISCO, TEXAS: National Envelope, a portfolio company of The Gores Group, has entered into an exclusive partnership with TreeZero to produce envelopes made entirely with 'tree free' paper. National Envelope will be the first company in the industry to make envelopes with Tree Zero paper.

The paper used for these environmentally friendly and sustainable envelopes has absolutely no wood or wood fibers used in the manufacturing process. Instead, the paper is made from a 100 per cent sugar cane byproduct called bagasse. Additionally, no sugar cane is harvested specifically to produce this paper. The by-product is diverted from land filling or burning, making it a truly eco-friendly option. Sugar cane can be harvested twice a year, making it a renewable paper source. National Envelope will launch the product branded as TreeFrog by National.

Ken Winterhalter, National Envelope president and CEO, said, “As an industry leader in environmentally responsible products, National Envelope is pleased to add “TreeFrog by National” to its full line of eco-friendly, sustainable envelope options.”

Mike Nilan, TreeZero’s CEO stated, “We are very excited about this new endeavor and expect that National Envelope’s customers will be impressed with the quality of TreeFrog paper National Envelope is a leader in the industry, and we are fortunate that they have joined us in our quest to create quality products that have less of a negative impact on the environment. Together we can offer an innovative, sustainable business solution to green-minded businesses and institutions.”
