The key in my opinion is the "... where competitively priced, ..." It's one of those things that lots of people
seem to want to do, but when it comes down to the bottom line many buyers opt for saving the money.
I don't think they addressed what type of recycled content very well, or at all. Pre-consumer and
post-consumer materials are different when figuring out how much a stock will cost the end user.

We print entirely on pressure sensitive roll stock. To me one of the big drawbacks of this is the inability to recycle it, as the paper is married up to adhesive, silcone and a carrier. At best you can get some carriers that can be recycled, but these are only made avaiable for certain papers. And there are even fewer pressure sensitive papers out there which are made with post consumer material.
