Thank you for your
interest in the Mass Recycles Paper
Campaign. We encourage municipalities,
regional recycling cooperatives, solid waste managers, the recycling
industry,
non-profit organizations and institutions and businesses to use these
materials
to promote paper recycling throughout Massachusetts. MassRecycle,
in cooperation with MassDEP and
with support from US EPA New England, Mass Lottery and over a dozen
private
sponsors, has developed these materials in order to provide a
consistent
message about the wide variety of paper types that can now be recycled. By using these materials you will help spread
the message that recycling paper matters more than ever!
For questions, comments and suggestions for
improving the
Campaign and these materials, please contact the Campaign Manager at paper@massrecycle.org
or 508-505-0851.

Outreach
Materials
With
a grant from MassDEP and support from private sponsors MassRecycle
retained the
advertising agency CDHM to develop
advertising and other outreach materials to
promote paper recycling. The following
ads are suitable to be used as posters, newspaper ads, as mailing
inserts, and
other formats that you may wish to develop.
The ads are currently in PDF format with a modifiable space on the
lower
green bar that can be used to add name and contact information for a
municipality or other entity that may wish to use these
materials. Please see the style and
usage guide for
further requirements on using these materials.
Templates
Templates
for the posters are currently provided as Word and PDFs that can be
downloaded and modified to
add your own contact information in the lower green bar, next to the
Mass
Recycles Paper logo. You must have Adobe Acrobat (not Reader) to edit these PDFs.
You need to go under “tools – advanced editing – touch up text tool” to
be able to edit the text box on the green bar. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat, then the
word documents with the text boxes in them will work best.
In the near future
we plan to provide the ads in one or more publishing programs that can
be
downloaded and modified for use in other formats such as newspaper
advertising,
direct mail, larger format posters or smaller format mailing inserts. If working with a professional printer you
will
be able to direct them to this web page to download the files and
modify the
layout as needed.
