For my paper towel (which is a huge portion of our purchasing) to comply, I understand that I can go either for FSC paper towel, or paper towel with EPA recycled content.

Currently, my available options are either to purchase RRF or PERC certified paper towel, so my questions are:

1. Is PERC acceptable as an alternative for FSC?

2. Can I comply using RRF certified paper towel, maybe under special circumstances path?

Hi Omar - paper towels are typically tracked under IEQc7 Green cleaning products and materials. Paper products made from rapidly renewable resources are compliant under that credit. I believe they must be 100% rapidly renewable to qualify as compliant. I'm not familiar with the PERC program.
