Wastewater
Converting to 50% post-consumer recycled paper saves 52,501 gallons of wastewater. The average American uses about 100 gallons of water per day, so this could replace the water that 500 people use in a day. Similarly, converting to 100% post-consumer recycled paper saves 183,754 gallons of wastewater, which is equivalent to the water usage of 1,800 people for a day.
Total Energy Converting to 50% postconsumer recycled paper saves 100 million BTU’s, which is equivalent to powering an American home for a year. Converting to 100% postconsumer recycled paper saves 351 million BTU’s, which is equivalent to powering four American
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) measures solid material suspended in mill effluent, which adversely affects microorganisms settling in receiving waters and can carry toxic metals and compounds into the environment. Conversion to 50% saves 19 lbs Conversion to 100% saves 68 lbs
Wood Use Converting to 50% post-consumer recycled paper saves 144 trees. Converting to 100% post-consumer recycled paper saves 504 trees.
Chemical Oxygen Demand Measures the amount of oxidizable organic matter in the mill’s effluent. Since wastewater treatment removes the organic material that would be degraded naturally in the receiving waters, the COD in the final effluent provides information about the quantity of more persistent substances discharged into the receiving water. Conversion to 50% saves 385 lbs Conversion to 100% saves 1347 lbs
Adsorbable Organic Halogens (AOX) An indirect measure of the quantity of chlorinated organic compounds in mill effluent, many of which are toxic and may persist in the environment. Conversion to 50% saves 6 lbs Conversion to 100% saves 20 lbs
Solid Waste Includes the sludge and other wastes generated during pulp and paper manufacturing, and used paper disposed of in land fills and incinerators Conversion to 50% saves 6,742 lbs Conversion to 100% saves 23,597 lbs
