· Making new paper from old paper uses 30% to 55% less energy than making paper from trees and reduces related air pollution by 95%
· Each day American businesses generate enough paper to circle the globe at least 40 times.
· 77% of paper waste generated in offices is recyclable.
· Typical business offices generate about 1.5 pounds of waste paper per employee each day.
· Commercial and residential paper waste accounts for more than 40% of waste being landfilled. Eliminating this paper from our waste would nearly double the lives of current landfills.
Resources saved per ton of paper recycled:
· 17 trees
· 60,000 gal of water
· 225-kilowatt hours
· It is possible to achieve significant reductions in the cost of buying office paper by reducing paper use and reusing paper where possible.
