Patagonia Patagonia has long been a pioneer in the garment industry. Recognizing that their business activity creates pollution, the company strives to minimize their impact on the environment by using processed chlorine-free post-consumer recycled paper, tree-free paper, and soy-based inks whenever possible for printing catalogs and other materials. To this end, Patagonia prints their hang tags on Vanguard Recycled Plus™, 80# cover stock. "We realized that all of Patagonia's facilities should be involved in recycling and composting and have edible landscaping, low energy-use power, and insulation. We should use recycled paper everywhere, even in our catalogs, encourage ride sharing, eliminate paper cups, and so forth." — Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia
