Benefits of Recycling Paper
Protecting the environment is one of the main reasons for maximising paper recycling. The demand for paper continues to increase which has a direct impact on the existence of forests and their ecosystems.
Secondly, paper recycling offers additional benefits. For every tonne of paper recycled, 3000 litres of water and 3000-3000 KWh of electricity are saved (enough to maintain a family home for one year). Paper is a biodegradable material - as it rots on a landfill site it will produce methane gas. Both methane and carbon dioxide emissions need to be reduced significantly to reduce the effect of global warming on our climate.
