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.
