Why is recycling so important and can tossing your old paper in a recycling bin instead of the garbage
really make a difference?
The answer is yes. Paper recovered for recycling accounted for 37 percent of all fiber used by the U.S. paper industry in 2003. More than 80 percent of all paper mills in the U.S. use recovered paper to make their new products. Recycling paper also helps our communities by keeping it out of landfills and incinerators. The paper that we recover for recycling helps us improve the environment and produce new paper products that we use in our every day life. |
