GREEN OFFICE SUPPLIES
Some Office Supplies statistics ....
- 1.6 million single-use pens are discarded each year in the United States.
- 24 trees are cut down to make a ton of (virgin) printing and office paper.
- A ton of paper made from 100 percent recycled paper, as compared to virgin paper, saves the equivalent of 4,100 kilowatt - hours of energy, 7,000 gallons of water, 60 pounds of air emissions, and 3 cubic yards of landfill space.
- About 15 million pounds of polyester transparency film are discarded in the United States each year.
- By sending their printer and copying cartridges for remanufacturing, U.S. businesses could save $1.5 billion and at least 100,000 barrels of oil annually.
Many office supply stores now offer a range of office supplies made from recycled materials. Office Max has teamed with Terracycle to offer an eco-capitalist company, to bring a new line of "green" office products to OfficeMax customers. OfficeMax is featuring seven new TerraCycle products, including innovative binders, pencil cases, trashcans and cleaners. TerraCycle manufactures and packages products entirely from waste and reduces the amount of garbage going to landfills.
