The production of recycled paper requires much less energy compared to making new paper from wood pulp. The process of recycling paper can use up to 50% less energy, which directly reduces CO2 emissions.
Therefore, if we choose to use recycled paper in offices, we are directly reducing our carbon footprint!
In addition, the recycling process uses fewer chemicals than new paper production, which helps reduce water and air pollution. Recycling paper also requires less water than producing new paper.
And next time I suggest switching to recycled paper, don’t mention that white paper is prettier than yellow! 🙂
Since the “paperless office” is already an old ideal many of us strive for, but unfortunately still difficult to achieve, at Negawatt, we’ve decided to use recycled paper.
Although completely eliminating paper may seem unattainable in the near future due to specific operational requirements and habits, our company is committed to gradually reducing our environmental impact through concrete steps such as using recycled paper and raising awareness among employees about sustainable business practices.
