Why recycle Cardboard & Paper?
Recycling is essential for environmental sustainability, by recycling paper we reduce deforestation and protect trees. We are also saving a significant amount of water and other natural resources including energy, as the process of recycling paper also requires lower energy consumption.
The world loses almost six million hectares of forest each year to deforestation. In terms of climate change, cutting trees both adds carbon dioxide to the air and removes the ability to absorb existing carbon dioxide.
