Use paper with recycled content - buying recycled helps to 'close the loop' on recycling.

Why?
Paper fibres can be used a number of times before they wear out. Most stationary companies will have options for recycled stationary.

How?
Ask your current supplier to provide only recycled paper to your business.

Carbon (kg CO2e per year)
100% use of 100% recycled paper saves 565kg
50% use of 100% recycled paper saves 282kg
100% use of 30% recycled paper saves 177kg
50% use of 30% recycled paper saves 88kg

How did we calculate this?
For every tonne of recycled paper used instead of paper made of virgin fibre, the following savings can be made:
- 286kg for 30% recycled paper
- 1124kg for 100% recycled paper
Assuming an SME uses 201 reams per annum, where each ream weighs 2.5kg.
