This accomplishment underscores our dedication to sustainability and highlights the impact we can make together when businesses and individuals choose environmentally conscious practices.
Here’s how this achievement translates into meaningful environmental benefits:
Conserving Precious Freshwater Resources
Recycling paper saved an impressive 14,711,687 gallons of fresh water. This conservation reduces the strain on ecosystems and ensures that clean water remains available for future generations.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
By recycling paper, we avoided the release of 10,508,348 pounds of greenhouse gases. This significant reduction helps combat climate change by lowering the energy required for paper production.
Saving Energy

Our recycling efforts prevented 126,060 pounds of air pollutants, improving air quality and supporting public health in our community.
Preserving Forests and Biodiversity
Thanks to recycling, we preserved 35,717 trees, safeguarding vital habitats for wildlife and contributing to the fight against deforestation.
Conserving Natural Resources
Recycling paper conserved 4,202 barrels of oil, reducing the demand for petroleum-based chemicals and raw materials used in paper production.
Reducing Landfill Waste
By diverting paper from landfills, we saved 6,723 cubic yards of landfill space, helping to minimize environmental degradation and extend the life of existing landfill sites.
