Colad is proud to be recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency as an EPA Green Power Partner through our annual purchase of at least 170,000 kWh of renewable Wind energy. This commitment helps reduce the risks associated with climate change by supporting sustainable energy technologies. Our use of Wind energy helps prevent up to 186,352 pounds (85 metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions from being released into the atmosphere. This commitment has an impact equivalent to:
- 767 fully mature trees planted
- 234,800 miles not driven by an average passenger car
- 16 passenger cars off the road for one year

Finally, we work with materials that are environmentally sustainable. Paper – our primary material – is totally natural, recyclable and renewable. Many of our stocks contain recycled content, and some are 100% recycled. We do not offer vinyl or poly binders because they are made using synthesized plastics, polyethylene, and other toxic materials.
On behalf of everyone at ThePaperWorker and Colad, thank you for helping us to promote sustainable environmental business practices. Now, let's create some brilliant custom binders, custom scrapbooks, custom gift boxes, folders, and packaging!
