Recycle PAPER and save some TREES

Paper is too valuable to waste

Around the world we use 1 million tonnes of paper every day. Too much of this paper usage is wasteful and unnecessary and puts huge pressures on the environment.
Paper usage in many parts of the word is on the rise. Expanding production and pulp wood harvesting threatens some of the last remaining natural forests and the people and wildlife that depend on them. The world´s paper hunger also significantly contributes to climate change.
Easy actions can make a big difference for the environment. Use Go green-Live Green tips on paper efficiency to help save the earth, reduce your carbon footprint and save money at the same time.

Think before you print
Pushing the print button is too easy...and wasteful. So the next time you are about to press that button, ask yourself the golden rule of saving paper: Do I really need to print this?

Use both sides of the sheet of paper
This is a real easy way of reducing your paper consumption by 50%. Set your printer or copier’s defaults to double sided. Select one-sided printing only when really needed.

Avoid printing out single line e-mails or unnecessary copies of documents
Again just follow the golden rule and ask yourself whether you really need to the print.

Use technology
Electronic mail, Internet, Intranets and document scanners can radically reduce paper use, while also saving you time and money.

Recycle the paper you have and ask for recycled paper products
Collect the paper you use and then reuse where possible (print again on the other side if you printed on one side only or use it for note paper). And when you do have to buy new paper make sure it is recycled. 
Save paper in your workplace
Reductions of 20% or more are possible in most offices. So ask your office manager what they are doing to reduce paper. Remind them that saving paper isn’t just about protecting the environment; it can also save them a lot of money!

Start a Paper Recycling Plant-Business 
Recycling paper is a profitable venture as waste paper is a readily available raw material. Recycling reduces the wastage of water in paper production and reduces air and water pollution. The process of recycling paper involves soaking waste paper and pulp to separate the fibers. The pulp is then screened to remove detrimental materials like pins. The pulp is then de-inked and thickened before it is washed. If white paper is required, the pulp is bleached before being rolled into sheets. You can recycle paper mechanically or by using automated
