Studies have shown that 70% of waste in office bins can be recycled. By recycling paper/card and by separating waste we can help reduce landfill sites. This all helps to slow the world’s consumption of forests.

The average office worker generates about 35kg of waste paper each year
We throw away 9 Million tons of packaging a year, enough to fill 245 Jumbo Jets in a week
For every tonne of Paper recycled 17 trees are spared, 7000 gallons of water is saved and 4200KWh less electricity is used
When all this paper ends up in landfill sites it produces methane as it decomposes
Almost 5 Million tonnes of waste paper is sent to landfill or incineration sites each year

This does not make environmental or financial sense.
