Green Statistics
Since 2005, Pacific Shredding has recycled 122,874,526 pounds of paper leading to a positive impact on our environment.
By recycling our paper, we save:
As part of the recycling industry, the paper recycling segment collects, sorts, and processes recovered fiber into a specification grade material. That product is sold and transported to paper mills across the world for reprocessing and production into newsprint, new packaging, printer paper, tissue, and a myriad of other paper products.
According to recent statistics, every 2,000 pounds (1 ton) of recycled paper saves approximately:
- 3.3 Cubic Yards of Landfill Space
- 17 Trees
- 9 Barrels of Oil
- 650 kWh of Electricity
- 60 Pounds of Air Pollutants
- 7,000 Gallons of Water
