Landfill Airspace Savings

Quantity of solid waste going to landfill will be reduced, therefore landfill site space will be saved. Savings in airspace brought about by recycling should be quantified and used to offset recycling costs. For every ton of paper recycled 3 square meters of land is saved.

Recovered Fibre releases Methane Gas when sent to landfill – Methane gas which is not only flammable is 20 times more potent than CO2 which contributes towards global warming.

For every ton of paper recycled 17 trees are put to other use as trees sequester carbon.
