Supporting Your Sustainability Goals

Wist has partnered with leading manufacturing suppliers for many years to expand access to environmentally responsible products, increase recycled material content, and deliver long-term value to our clients. Today, we offer more than 20,000 products containing recycled materials, allowing organizations to integrate sustainability into everyday purchasing decisions without sacrificing performance or availability.

We are fully committed to supporting our customers' sustainability objectives across all major spend categories. Our portfolio includes a broad range of environmentally preferred alternatives for office supplies, janitorial products, breakroom items, and paper goods. In addition to working with established eco-focused brands, Wist has introduced a private-label line of sustainable plates, bowls, and tableware, providing cost-effective options alongside trusted name brands.

To simplify sustainable purchasing, Wist's e-commerce platform offers a dedicated Green Products section, advanced filtering by recycled content (20%, 30%, or 100%), and automatic recommendations for recycled alternatives when non-recycled products are selected—including for toner and select paper categories.

Wist also supports transparency and accountability through quarterly reporting that details the percentage of recycled products purchased. These reports can be archived for audit purposes and are frequently used by procurement and sustainability teams to track progress and set future benchmarks.

Additional initiatives include paperless billing options—such as punchout, emailed invoices, and downloadable PDFs—to reduce paper waste and improve operational efficiency.

In the paper category, we have helped many clients transition from virgin pulp paper to 30% recycled paper, while also introducing innovative solutions such as TreeZero, a 100% sustainable paper made from sugarcane waste.

These capabilities reflect Wist's role as a strategic partner—helping organizations meet sustainability goals through practical solutions, measurable results, and scalable programs.
