The document compares the environmental impact of three types of paper: baseline (copy paper), 50% recycled, and 100% recycled. It includes metrics on trees used, net energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, wastewater generation, and solid waste produced for each paper type. As the recycled content increases, both resource use and waste generation decrease.
