Production of paper:

* Trunk 1 (wood) to produce 16 reams of paper
* Trunk 1 can produce the needed oxygen to breathe 3 people
* To produce 1 ton of paper, it takes 3 tons of wood and 98 tons of other raw materials
* Every hour, the world lost because of 1732.5 hectares of forest to be harvested raw materials of paper
* Paper industry around the world using 35% of all commercial timber harvest each year
* The paper industry spent 670 million tons of wood to produce 178 million tons of pulp and 278 million tons of paper and paperboard
* 1 ton of paper = 400 reams = 200,000 sheets of
* To produce 3 sheets of paper required 1 liter of water
* To produce 1 Kilogram of paper required 324 liters of water (environment Canada)
* 95% of paper made from wood fiber materials
* To produce 1 ton of paper produced carbon dioxide (CO2) for about 2.6 tons or equal to the emissions produced by cars during the 6 months.
* To produce 1 ton of paper, produced approximately 72,200 liters of liquid waste and 1 ton of solid waste
* The paper industry is a user of energy to fuel the world’s largest 3rd (American Forest and Paper Association)
* Once the paper is only used for writing, now Packaging industry uses 41% of the total use of paper

Recycled paper:

* Recycling paper saves 54 kg of tree 1 (Government of Canada)
* Recycling 1 ton of paper saves approximately 17 trees (Purdue Research Foundation and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1996)
* Recycling paper uses 60% less energy than making paper from tree trunks
* Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 682.5 gallons of fuel and 7000 gallons of water and 4000 kwh of electricity (Onondaga Resource Recovery Center)
* 30% -40% of discarded paper is paper or packaging Packaging (The Recycler’s Handbook, 1990)
* When the paper decompose or compost will produce Methane gas is 25 times more dangerous than CO2 (International Institute for Environment and Development, 1971)
