Reduce Waste: Recycle Paper

Don’t you know that it takes paper from a month to 4 months for it to decompose? Learning how to recycle paper is a great idea to help lessen waste in the environment. Though paper is biodegradable, it takes a lot of time for it to biodegrade in landfills. It is important to recycle paper beacuse for every ton of paper recycled saves more than 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space. It reduces the need for new landfills and incinerators. Also, it conserves resources and saves energy.

Recycling paper does not only help our environment, it also helps us make money out of it. Recycling paper is an excellent way to make handcrafts and unique items that can be a source of income at a very low cost of capital. You can create a wide range of useful items for your home, as well as lovely items that would serve as a gift. You can also make personalized stationary, greeting cards and art paper through recycled paper.
