About Being Green at Dex

Dex One is committed to environmental responsibility.  We ensure that our print directories are created using environmentally-friendly materials and are fully recyclable.  Dex One has also been a leader in offering consumers a choice about directory delivery for several years. We encourage people to let us know if they prefer to receive fewer directories or to opt out completely.

Dex One is turning our attention to actively identifying the consumers who no longer use print directories.  We know 70 percent of adults use directories every year, but they also use digital search alternatives, including DexKnows.com and DexPages.com, and may need fewer directories. Others may only search online and want no directories at all.  Dex One believes it is important to encourage people to reduce quantities or opt out of print directories to meet their changing search needs.
 
Dex One spreads the message about consumer choice with direct mail, e-mail direct messaging, news releases and door hangers.  We also work with state, city, local municipalities and environmental groups to help educate the public.   Dex One’s proactive consumer choice outreach is helping to reduce the number of unwanted directories that are delivered and put into the waste stream.
