Paper Industry Continues Sustainability to Environment

The paper producers now all offer grades with recycled post consumer fiber, many reclaim chemicals, all recycle water, and most consume alternative energy. The fact is, the industry has always been a good steward to the environment – they have always recycled broke, water, and chemicals. In fact, manufacturers plant 1.7million trees per day, more are planted than harvested. We now enjoy 12million more acres of forestland today than were in existence 20 years ago.
Of note, the USA publishers currently print 18,000 magazines and less than 1% print on recycled paper consistently. This might be because paper made from post consumer fiber typically costs a little more.
