Paper, Print and the Environment
Posted on July 4, 2012 by DrRossH in Plastic Waste NewsPaper, Print and the Environment | Solid Waste & Recycling Magazine.
Wood, which comes from trees, is the primary material used to make paper. Trees are continually replenished–like wheat and corn, unlike plastic–to ensure that our forests are sustainable.
“To address climate change, we must use more wood, not less. Using wood sends a signal to the marketplace to grow more trees and to produce more wood. That means we can then use less concrete, steel and plastic — heavy carbon emitters through their production. Trees are the only abundant, biodegradable and renewable global resource.”
