3. Why Use
Recycled Paper?

4. • It takes 24 good-sized trees to produce a ton of virgin fibre paper.
It takes 1.1 tons of waste paper to produce a ton of 100% recycled
paper.
• Paper that's 100% post-consumer waste uses about 75% less water
in production than its virgin-fibre counterpart.
• Producing recycled Kraft pulp requires a third less energy than
making virgin chemical pulp. (Kraft = process for creating strong
paper)
• Paper that's carted away to the landfill decomposes and ultimately
emits methane gas, which traps up to 25 times more heat than
carbon dioxide over a 100-year period

5. Does
Recycling Paper
Use More
Resources?

6. • No, it does not.
• Recycled paper is better for the environment than virgin paper.
• It helps preserve forests because it reduces demand for wood.
• It also conserves resources and generates less pollution during
manufacturing, because the fibres have already been processed
once. This results in less air and water pollution also.
• The 100% recycled paper we utilise at Sustainable Printing Co
feature long fibres, which are more flexible for the recycling
process (as opposed to a paper like newsprint, with its shorter
fibres, that usually reserved for making low-quality items.
