What are some of the environmental benefits of buying recycled paper?
The Green Press Initiative (GPI) states that one of the biggest benefits of using recycled fibre is that it emits 38% less GHGs than fibre harvested from virgin sources. Producing recycled paper also uses 44% less energy than production from virgin material. Up to 34 mature trees are conserved for every ton of recycled fibre used. Other benefits include water conservation and reduced waste water.
