There, you will learn a lot about sustainable design and you will also find the logos and terms that can help you decide what processes and papers you would have used in your project.
Also, besides the recycling logo and the "Printed with soy ink" phrase you should include the following information:
1. Indicate PCW content (Post-consumer waste = Recycled paper)
Definition of Post-Consumer Waste: Waste paper that has passed through the end-user, such as newspapers, office papers, paper bags and cartons.
You can have something like this in your package:
Eg: Made from 100% recycled paper, containing minimum 30% Post-consumer waste.
Note: Recycled paper can also be made from Pre-consumer waste too.
Definition of Pre-Consumer Waste: This may consist of paper trim, die clippings from die cutting of envelopes and corrugated boxes, or waste off the printing press. This is waste that has not passed through the end user.
2. Include "FSC" certification (Forest Stewardship Council) or "SFI" (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) logos.

3. You can also encourage end user to either share or recycle the printed piece
