August 26, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Harry Johansing, CEO of SGD Holdings, Ltd. (OTC: SGDH), is a developer of Banana Paper, which represents one of the first 100% post-consumer paper products, and is an expert in the recycled paper arena.

Many companies and individuals enjoy telling their peers, employers and customers they have “gone green” because they started using recycled paper. However, on closer examination, professed recycled paper products are not always what they claim to be.

So, what are the benefits of tree free paper? Ecopaper, Inc.’s tree free paper is 100% post-consumer waste. Waste that would normally wind up in a landfill is being processed into high quality paper products. No trees are used during the process. Furthermore, the energy and water required to manufacture paper are drastically reduced due to the process. Lastly, unlike typical copy paper, no harmful chemicals or toxins are added to the paper.

“Recycled paper is one of the biggest misnomers in the general public. It’s incredibly misleading. Most people think that recycled is the same as post-consumer content. Unless it says post-consumer, it means that the product is a virgin pulp, otherwise known as paper made from trees. What consumers should be looking for when they purchase paper is either tree free paper or the highest post-consumer content possible,” stated Harry Johansing.
