Environmental

Did you know that almost 35% of our the United State’s solid waste is paper?

If that isn’t shocking enough, consider these following statistics:


 

  • Paper fills up 30-40% of American landfill space. 
  • As paper decomposes in landfills or is burned in incinerators, chemicals from its inks are released into the environment.
  • Deforestation is occurring at an alarming rate worldwide, particularly in tropical regions. The World Resources Institute estimated in 1997 that only a fifth of the world's old-growth forests were undamaged, and almost half of these faced immediate threats from logging and development.
  • Americans use more than 50 million tons of paper each year, consuming more than 850 million trees.
