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.
