Government Printing Office (GPO) began purchasing paper in conformance with the recommended Environmental Protection
Agency “Minimum Content Standards” in August of 1989. GPO uses recycled paper on jobs printed in‑house, and for blank
stock furnished to agencies both from our warehouse and on direct mill shipments.
