paper stock

As the subscription box is focused on sustainability and making a small change to help the environment I wanted to use a paper that is also environmentally friendly. I went into a few stationary / craft shops around huddersfield in hope to find some good quality recycled paper however I struggled with this task. I want paper with a texture that feels more organic and looks interesting. A lot of the shops I visited didn't have much information about the paper they stocked therefore I decided to order it online. This was a bit of a risky move as I was unable to feel the paper before buying it but I knew I would be guaranteed to get something recycled and good quality. 

Here's a list of paper I looked at:
