| | Above & Beyond:
At Green Field Paper we are all about the paper, recycled handmade paper and hemp paper.
We manufacture our handmade paper in our San Diego facility using post consumer pulp and earth pigments to color it. No bleaches or dyes. The water used to make the paper is recycled back into the next batch of paper with our drying process. Wind credits are purchased to offset our energy usage. Packaging is all done with recycled or recyclable materials.
Our Hemp Heritage paper is manufactured using North American grown hemp fibers and post consumer pulp. No chlorine bleaches or dyes in this acid free archival quality paper. It was tested by the Ames Lab at Iowa State University and found to be 100% bio-based.
We have received Recycler of the Year or the Directors Recycling Award by the City of San Diego for the past 4 years.
| | Did You Know:
Hemp paper is of the highest quality, resists decomposition, and does not yellow as it ages when an acid-free process is used. It is for these reasons that hemp paper is used in Europe for bibles. A sample of hemp paper has been found that is more than 1500 years old. Only around 1850 did paper from wood pulp start to replace hemp. Trees were plentiful and cheap, but now they are rapidly getting depleted.
Hemp paper can be recycled many more times than wood-based paper. Hemp's natural creamy color eliminates the need for chlorine bleach, which prevents the dumping of extremely toxic dioxin into streams. Instead, hemp can be bleached using gentler hydrogen peroxide.

options, they have the most disappointing and horrible customer service I have ever
experienced. My fiance and I ordered our wedding invitations from this company, and
they were initially delayed because an ink color did not turn out properly. The
company still charged us for expedited shipping. We had the invitations delivered
directly to the calligrapher, and requested one sample to be sent to us for review,
which we received a day after the calligrapher, because the Greenfield did not expedite
the shipping of the sample. When we received the sample, it turned out the invitations
were printed on the wrong paper. We spoke with Shari, (who co-owns the business
with her husband) who did not apologise, or try to discuss how soon they could send
us the correct invitations, but told me that I should "thank (my) lucky stars" that they
used the wrong paper because if they had used my paper choice, the invitations would
have been "absolutely hideous". They never had a tone of apology, or tried to offer a
resonable solution. Their offer was that as a favor, they would reprint the order (after
our request), but we had to first send back the wrong invitations, and we would be
responsible for all the shipping costs. This company thought it fair for us to pay
additional extra costs to receive our invitations doubly delayed, the way we had
originally ordered them, and to be insulted. It was the saddest interaction, full of bad
energy. This company does not understand customer service when unforeseeable
mistakes happen on their end, to absorb business costs, and to have care. The paper
they sell can be found elsewhere, and I can guarantee if something went awry with
your order, they care not to correct it. I have never been inspired to bother to write a
negative review until this occurrence. | Rating:
