Myths and Facts
- Myth: Going paperless saves forests
- Fact: We grow many more trees than we harvest. Paper manufactures encourages forest sustainability through their purchase of certified wood fibres. This actively encourages landowners to grow more trees for market and replenish stocks on a regular basis.
- Myth: Paper is bad for the environment
- Fact: Paper is one of the few products that is truly sustainable. Paper is recycled more than any other commodity.
- Myth: Electronic communication is more environmentally friendly than paper based communication.
- Fact: Electronic communication has environmental impacts. The energy require to manufacturer and run these devices is estimated each year to contribute approximately 14% of greenhouse gases and rising. The pulp, paper and print industry contributes 1% and is the lowest industrial emitter.
- Myth: Only recycled paper should be used to make paper
- Fact: Paper can be recycled up to 7 times before the fibres become weak and breakdown. Therefore a continuous supply of fresh fibres are harvested from managed forests. This allows for paper to continue with the recycle process therefore reducing waste.
