Post-it® Notes use paper made with trees from sustainability managed forests. These renewable and responsibly managed forests are carefully harvested and trees are replanted.
The 3M Cynthiana Kentucky facility that makes Post-it® Notes is a zero waste-to-landfill plant. All manufacturing waste produced is either reused, recycled, composted, or sent to energy recovery.
Post-it® Notes and Super Sticky Notes are curbside recyclable in the normal paper waste stream. These Post-it Notes use recycling-compatible adhesive that is removed during the process, so they can become something new.
For those who want notes with higher recycled content, turn to our Post-it® Recycled Notes range. No new trees are used to make Post-it® Recycled Notes.
