Paper is the number one material that we throw away. For every 100 pounds of trash we throw away, 35 pounds is paper. (Source: U.S. EPA)

Recycling one ton of paper will save:

• 17 to 31 trees
• 7000 gallons of water
• 60 pounds of air pollutants
• 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
• 4077 Kilowatt hours of energy

If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper (500 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 423,900 trees.

If every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber paper towels (70 sheets) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 544,000 trees.

If every household in the United States replaced just one package of virgin fiber napkins (250 count) with 100% recycled ones, we could save 1 million trees.
