How Much Pieces Of Paper Make Up An Average Sized Oak Tree?
Paper comes from pine or fir trees about 95% of the time. These days less than half the paper on the market doesn’t incorporate some sort of recycling element, but there is still “virgin” paper on the market, so the numbers below are pulled from that data. One tree produces about 16.67 reams of paper or about 8,335 sheets of standard business paper. One ream (500 sheets) uses about 6% of a standard “paper” tree. The process of making paper dates back about 1,900 years to China.
