Driving the SmartWay
With Labor Day approaching, the majority of the estimated 35 million Americans traveling over the holiday weekend will be driving to their destination. And while today's vehicles are more efficient than ever, there's an environmental impact for every mile traveled. Learn how, as a SmartWay® Partner, Domtar is limiting the air pollution associated with getting its products to market.
Do You PrintFriendly?
Is there anything more frustrating than printing a one-page article, only to find five partially-printed sheets waiting for you on the printer? For years, Domtar has partnered with PrintEco, a small startup that enables more efficient printing. Today, the platform is evolving into PrintFriendly, a web-based tool that makes formatting articles a snap - helping you use ink and paper more responsibly.

What's Your EarthChoice?

Aside from being easier, mulching also helps retain soil temperature and acts as a free source of fertilizer, while reducing the 13% of the U.S. waste stream composed of yard trimmings.
