Top Reasons to Shred

There are many reasons for concentrated recycling programs. Paper in particular is considered a major consumer usage product completely susceptible to post-use recycling.
Points to ponder:

• The manufacturing process for recycled paper uses up to 70% less energy than for virgin paper and considerably less water.
• Recycling also causes 74% less air pollution and 35% less water pollution, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
• Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil and 4,100 kilowatt hours of electricity - enough energy to power the average American home for 5 months. (EPA)
• Recycling 1 ton of print or copy paper saves 2 tons of wood.
