Roseville could create a <br />similar goal, and gradually increased the percentage of PCW in the paper they buy. <br />• All paper products purchased by the City should be chlorine -free certified. Chlorine <br />Product's Association's Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) and Processed Chlorine Free (PCF) <br />marks should be preferred for purchasing. <br />Chlorine free paper is processed without chlorine, which significantly reduces the amount <br />of harmful waste produced in the paper -making process. The City of Maplewood requires <br />all paper be chlorine free, and Roseville could create a similar standard in its paper <br />purchases. <br />• Additionally, all paper products should contain a chain of custody certification such as <br />the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Green Seal, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative <br />(SIT), and/or EcoLogo. <br />Energy Saving Products <br />
