About Us

First World, founded in 1994, derives its name from the indigenous (first people) of Africa, Europe, Asia, The Americas and Pacific Islanders. As a company we believe in protecting our natural resources by using less paper and resources.

First World's paper products are made in the USA from 100% post consumer recycled paper, that emits 25-50% less green house gases during the manufacturing process than paper made with Chlorine Bleach. All our printing is done with non-toxic, low voc vegetable based ink.

As a practice we design products that minimize waste. We at First World Products believe in the triple bottom line: people, our planet, profit and social environmental justice. Recycling paper is a benefit for people and a win for natural resources. Our conviction is to protect our trees and forests for future generations by reducing consumption of paper. Recycling of paper prevents destruction of forests and creates much needed jobs and profits for Americans. We are working towards making paper a totally sustainable, socially responsible industry that supports social and environmental justice around the world.
