Why Recycle Paper?
Statistics show the following:

• A typical office generates about one pound of paper per employee and that from that paper, 77 percent of what is wasted in offices across the country is recyclable.
• Most of the paper wasted is high grade paper.
• Using old paper to make new paper uses 30 to 50 percent less energy than making paper from trees.
• Pollution is also reduced by 95 percent when used paper is made into new sheets.
• 40 percent of all waste going to landfills is paper. Cutting down on paper waste will extend the lives of our landfills.
• Newspaper can be recycled into egg cartons, game boards, new newspaper, gift boxes, animal bedding, insulation and packaging material.
• Office paper is recycled into paper towels, tissue paper and toilet paper.
