Just one week after Office Depot announced a new line of green products, Staples, has launched the Staples Green Guide, an online catalog of eco-friendly products for contract customers.

Staples Contract customers can access their own Green Guide online and employees can submit their order requests to approved purchasers.

“The Staples Green Guide makes it easy for procurement managers to reach their green procurement goals and gain cost efficiencies with program compliance,” said Marci Grebstein, vice president of marketing for Staples Contract.

In March, Staples switched all of its 1,400 Copy & Print Centers in the U.S. to recycled paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council – a first for a national copy and print operation.

A recent report from Dogwood Alliance and ForestEthics highlighted the forest-related paper practices of Corporate Express, FedEx Kinko’s, Office Depot, OfficeMax, and Staples.
