On a personal level, we always hear about how our human behaviors need to be more environmentally friendly. Yet you may wonder how your industry, and the paper converting one in particular, can cooperate with the Earth we live on.

For example, Crown Paper Converting proudly offers paper products that are 100% recyclable and reusable. As a result, when our customers use and sell our paper products, these products act as a replacement for products that are more difficult to handle at landfills, such as plastic wrap or air bags.

Let’s take a look at 3 key factors to better understand how beneficial the paper converting industry really is to the environment.

According to studies done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, forest trees are actually growing in volume now when compared to the 1950’s. In just 60 years, we were able to ensure that we are growing more wood than before. What’s important about this data is that through careful maintenance and credible sources of wood, the paper converting industry can be proud of the fact that we are sustaining the environment and not destroying it.

No matter where you look in your home, you’ll notice that we already have recycled paper in numerous products. The coffee filter that you use to drink that hot cup of coffee is filled with recycled paper. Even the napkins, egg cartons, or the shredded paper bedding you use for your small pets benefit from recycled paper.

Waste Management, Inc. has reported that 4.5 million tons of office paper is thrown away each year in America. What’s even more staggering is that these sheets of paper can actually build a 12-foot high wall of paper from Los Angeles to New York City. When the average American is throwing away 600 times the amount of their adult weight in the garbage, it’s important to contribute less waste in landfills. Just by using recycled paper, you can save 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space with just one ton of paper.

Being aware of our impact on the environment is the key to making a change in our human behavior.
Utilizing paper converting is an important transformation that you can be proud of for making a difference in this world.
