We continually strive to reach new goals in our mission to be good environmental stewards both in our process and in the forest.

A little bit more about IEP
Although Inland Empire Paper Company has undergone many alterations over the past century, we have maintained our focus on paper production. We focus on efficient utilization of many natural resources in our production process including shared resources such as air, water, and energy. Recycled materials such as wood chips and old newspapers are the basic components of our paper.
Approximately 10-60% of the materials used for paper are recycled from municipal paper waste. Some of that recycled paper comes from the Spokane region, but a good portion is purchased from recyclers around the western United States. To better serve our customers IEP developed Fiber Reclaim, a recycling and transportation division.
