A Few More Reasons to Recycle Office Paper
It's Good for Business!
As a manager for your company, you are always looking for ways to
save money. One way to accomplish this is by recycling office paper.
Since a typical office worker throws away over half a pound of
recyclable paper every day, recycling this paper will reduce your
trash disposal costs. Every pound of paper recycled is one you
don't need to have hauled away and landfilled. By recycling
you will:
- Earn revenues from the sale of your high grade office paper.
- Lower your waste disposal costs by reducing the amount of trash
needing to be landfilled.
- Support the paper industry by supplying a high quality raw
material to paper mills.
- Project a good public image for your company -- recycling shows
you care about the environment!
It's Good for the Environment!
- Recycling paper conserves trees by manufacturing new paper and
paper products from used paper rather than from trees.
- Recycling reduces air, water, and land pollution. For instance,
every ton of paper that is recycled saves:
- 17 trees
- 7,000 gallons of water
- 4,200 kilowatt hours of energy
- 410 gallons of fuel
- Recycling paper produces 60% less air pollution than producing
paper from trees.
- Recycling extends the life of our landfills.
