At Savannah Supplies our mission is to make available to you and promote available environmental-friendly products and services that uses recycled materials, reuse or recharge existing parts, use reduced or non-toxic alternatives, and uses less energy than the conventional products. We are dedicated to the long-term success of environmental-stewardship by lending our greatest support to those companies showing leadership in utilizing recycled and alternative non-toxic materials and curtailing pollution in their manufacturing processes. That's why our main website only contains environmental friendly products.

While our goal is to offer a full line of such high quality environmental friendly products, we also realize that not all products are yet available in such forms. To avoid forcing well intentioned customers to shop in two or more locations, which is a non-value adding practice, and only upon your request, you will find in our general catalog a selection of conventional products. By avoiding conventional products whenever possible our customers assert to manufacturers that real demand exists for positive change. Our customers have also expressed the available of such catalog in order to make comparison between the costs of environmental-friendly products and conventional products. The ability to make such comparison eliminates the misconception that environmental-friendly products are always more expensive.

Below are some typical questions and answers we often hear from our prospective environmental-concious customers.

Q. We are a very small office and really don’t order enough to make a relationship with Savannah Supplies worthwhile.

A. Unlike a lot of companies that require minimum orders, our policy is that “there is no customer too small.” We value every customer and believe we can supply quality products to your liking. Every company, school or home has a need for essentials like basic office supplies, different types of paper, technology equipment and books. Why not make a commitment to using products that promote environmental stewardship and social responsibility? This is your chance to participate to making the world a better place for present and future generations.

Q. We already have a local office supply company that serves our needs. Shouldn’t we be supporting local companies?

A. Yes it makes sense to support locally-owned businesses and your local office supplier may even be providing you with environmental-friendly products. If you have such a local office supplier which also puts the same emphassy on promoting environmental-friendly products, and provides you with a high level of service at competative prices, we definitely salute and support such relationship.
