Environmental responsibility

In a world where everything is disposable, recycling has become more important than ever. If it works, recycling allows companies and individuals to reuse used waste, rather than seeing it piled up in a landfill.
Unfortunately, today’s recycling processes are not as efficient as they should be. In fact, the percentage of recycled waste that actually gets recycled is both surprising and, frankly, worrying.

The brutal truth about plastic!

The world produces 400 million tons of plastic a year, but only 9% of it is recycled, while 91% of plastic accumulates in our ecosystem, breaking down into highly hazardous microplastics.
As if that wasn’t enough, almost all of the plastic that is recycled is actually recycled second-hand, meaning that it becomes less and less useful each time it is recycled, until eventually it becomes so perishable that it can no longer be recycled properly.
National Geographic reports that by 2050, an estimated 12 billion tons of plastic will be piled in landfills worldwide. By comparison, that number of plastic weighs about 35,000 times more than the entire Empire State Building.
Doesn’t this vision of the world scare you?

Paper – the only ecological solution!

Paper is one of the most environmentally friendly products. It is biodegradable and trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow. In addition, paper stores carbon throughout its life cycle.

Recycling paper conserves natural resources, saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Paper is the most recycled product. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 72% of all paper and cardboard waste is recycled each year. In 2018, approximately 46 million tons of paper were sent for recycling.

The biodegradability of the remaining 28% of the percentage of paper waste that does not get recycled is also very important. Biological organisms can break down natural products into basic compounds such as CO2, water and biomass. In the case of paper, this can take anywhere from a week to several months.
