If your business recycled just one ton of fiber from paper-based products, the energy and landfill savings would include:
- 17 mature trees
- 7,000 gallons of water
- 3 cubic yards of landfill space
- 2 barrels of oil
- 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity (enough energy to power the average American home for five months)
Did you know?
- Producing recycled paper requires about 60% of the energy used to make paper from virgin wood pulp.
- Producing new plastic from recycled material uses only two-thirds of the energy required to manufacture it from virgin raw materials
