How Do Your Recycling Efforts Stack Up?

BEST Shredding has been looking into the effects of recycling, what Canadians currently recycling, and the average amount of waste we create on a yearly basis.

One of the most interesting facts that we came across was:

“One pound of newspaper can be recycled to make six cereal boxes, six egg cartons or 2000 sheets of paper”

We find it very interesting that a small amount of paper recycled can be repurposed into so much more than it would be if it hadn’t been recycled! In the last year BEST Shredding shredded and recycled over 20,000 tons of paper. This paper can be used to make 120,000 cereal boxes, 120,000 egg cartons and a lot more paper.

If your company does not have a plan for recycling that paper used in your office it’s time to develop a plan. Need help? BEST Shredding has options that provide the security and the recycling.
