In honor of Earth Day, company makes it even more convenient for customers to shop extensive environmentally preferred product offering
BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 08/ — Corporate Express US Inc. has launched two new virtual tools for customers to browse and purchase green products: the Ecoffice(R) Source, an online virtual catalog, and the Ecoffice Way, a special shopping section on the company’s premiere online ordering website E-Way.Corporate Express US Inc., part of the Dutch-based Corporate Express is a leading business-to-business supplier in the US of office and computer supplies, office furniture, facility supplies, document and print management, imaging and computer graphic supplies, promotional products and other similar products.”We have a long-standing commitment to sustainability and the environment, and we’ve offered a broad selection of environmentally preferred products for quite some time,” said Jay Mutschler, president of Corporate Express US. “In honor of Earth Day, we’re pleased to launch two new virtual shopping tools to make it simple for our customers to buy green products.”The virtual Ecoffice Source green catalog offers many user-friendly features, including: intuitive navigation, keyword searching, a page bookmark tool, virtual sticky notes to tag products, web reporting and more. The catalog also integrates with E-Way, so customers can place orders seamlessly online, by logging on to E-Way when prompted. Find the Ecoffice Source green catalog at http://www.EcofficeSource.com or access it from http://www.CorporateExpress.com.

Ecoffice Way is an exclusive green shopping section in http://www.eway.com that features the same products as the Ecoffice Source catalog and also allows shoppers to browse and purchase green products entirely online.”We’re offering two tools because our customers like to shop in different ways,” said Walter Scott, vice president of Marketing and eCommerce. “About seventy percent prefer to use http://www.eway.com, so we’re giving them a convenient tool within this site. Still others like to flip through a catalog, so we’re giving them a virtual version, as opposed to a printed one, to help save our Earth’s resources.”Both Ecoffice Source and Ecoffice Way feature the company’s comprehensive offer a breadth of green products, including:

    — Environmentally preferred Sustainable Earth(R) cleaners
    — Earthsaver(R) brand post-consumer recycled content papers
    — Furniture with green attributes
    — Compostable break room supplies
    — Eco-conscious facility supplies
