Motion text

That this House expresses with regret that it is currently not possible to show that the House of Commons writing paper is made from recycled paper or sustainable forestry; urges the House authorities to use paper produced by organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council or other groups, who use recycled or recovered materials, such as totally chlorine-free de-inked post-consumer waste, recycled mall broke waste, and vegetable-based inks; and strongly believes that honourable Members should be able to support this sustainable effort and show their commitment to recycling by displaying the relevant logo.

HOUSE OF COMMONS WRITING PAPER (Amendment 1)
Line 1, leave out from 'House' to end, and insert 'supports the commitment of the House of Commons authorities to using recycled material wherever practicable; welcomes the fact that the House of Commons writing paper is produced from 75% pre-consumer waste and as such would comply with, for example, the National Association of Paper Merchants definition of recycled paper; and notes that the watermark on House of Commons paper contains the Mobius loop logo, the internationally-recognised recycling symbol.
