DID YOU KNOW?

• It takes one tree to make 230 average sized newspapers/magazines.
• In the UK, we use over 12.5 million tonnes of paper each year. This equates to a forest the size of Wales.
• We recycle around 80% of paper in the UK. If every person in the UK recycled just 10% more paper, we would save approximately 5 million trees each year.
• By recycling just one tonne of paper, we can save 17 trees and 4000 KW of energy, that’s enough to power a house for a year.It will also save 380 gallons of oil, 7000 gallons of water, and around 3 cubic metres of landfill space.
