Recycled paper comes from waste paper. The production of 1 ton of paper requires the cutting down of about 20 trees of 20 to 40 years of age, and about 35% of the world's commodity wood is used for papermaking. Waste paper and waste wood discarded in landfills have already been recycled and used as cheap new raw materials for papermaking. Scientists call it the "fourth kind of forest." One ton of office waste paper can produce 0.8 tons of recycled paper, equivalent to saving 4 cubic meters of wood, or save 17 large trees.
If half of the world's office paper is recycled, it will be able to meet 75% of the new paper demand, which is equivalent to 8 million hectares of forest from being cut down.
Scientists at the International Forest Research Center warn that the speed of the disappearance of tropical rain forests has increased 10 times in the past 10 years. The paper industry consumes 60 million cubic meters of wood each year, which is three times the capacity of sustainable forest development. In 12 years, the area of ​​tropical rainforest in Indonesia has dropped from 120 million hectares to 95 million hectares in 1997. At this rate of development, the most biodiversity lowland forest in Sumatra will disappear in 2005.
At present, 90% of the raw materials used in the paper industry come from natural forests. Paper Miller Asia Paper Co., Ltd. has cut 1 million hectares of tropical rain forest over the past 10 years. Although they stated that they would achieve plans for all papermaking raw materials from artificial secondary forests in 2007, people still expressed doubts because of the huge investment needed.
China has become a big country in paper production, consumption and import. Last year, both paper and board production and consumption ranked second in the world, second only to the United States. However, our country is a Shaolin country and the forest coverage rate is 10 percentage points lower than the world average. Forest coverage is only 16.55%, far below the world average of 27%. Since the implementation of the natural forest protection project in 1998, the harvesting of domestic timber has been more restricted and the domestically produced timber has declined by 1.1% annually. It is predicted that in 2005, the demand gap for China's commodity wood will be 70 million cubic meters.
Waste paper can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also save 23 cubic meters of wood and 400 kilograms of coal, 400 kilowatts of electricity, and 300 tons of water per ton of paper. Countries with rich forest resources abroad also attach great importance to waste paper recycling. Japan's waste paper recovery rate is above 78%; Germany is 83%; the United States recycles more than 100 million tons of waste paper every year, which is equivalent to the amount of paper used in China in one year. The waste paper recycling rate in Guangdong Province, China, is about 40%, which is already high in China.
The United States, Germany, and other countries have laws that force the paper industry to use a certain amount of waste paper as raw materials, and give recycling companies certain subsidies. According to the Waste Paper Utilization Act of California, the use of waste paper must account for 50% of paper production. Recently, the German Bidirectional System Recovery Organization (DSD), under the jurisdiction of the EU competition regulations, will be forced to open the tender rules for packaging waste recycling contracts to EU countries. DSD is composed of 414 packaging paper collectors, sorters and recyclers in Germany. It collects 1.5 million tons of waste paper annually, including corrugated boxes. The organization subsidizes waste paper collectors 50 million euros (about 53 million US dollars) a year.
Finland is among the best in the world in waste paper recycling. According to figures published by the Finnish Waste Paper Recycling Company, in 2001 Finland’s national waste paper recycling rate reached 74%, and per capita waste paper recycling amounted to 143 kg. Finland is a major producer of paper in the world. In 2001, the output of paper was 12.5 million tons, of which domestic consumption was 1 million tons. Just as it focuses on protecting and utilizing its own forest resources, Finland has always attached importance to the recovery and utilization of waste paper. Residents’ old newspapers and magazines have almost 100% recycling rates. Residents consciously send old newspapers and waste paper sheets to collection points without compensation. All major companies have waste paper recycling bins, and all employees consciously put office waste paper and old newspapers into it.
At present, China consumes 35 million tons of paper each year. Every paper mill that recycles 1 ton of waste paper can produce 800 kilograms of good paper, which is equivalent to saving 3 cubic meters of wood, saving 100 cubic meters of water, and saving 300 kilograms of chemical raw materials. , Saving 1.2 tons of coal, saving 600 degrees. If a factory produces 20,000 tons of recycled paper annually, it can save 58,000 cubic meters of wood annually, which is equivalent to cutting down 520,000 trees, which can save a lot of water and environmental treatment costs. The United States, Germany, and other countries have stipulated that 60% of government office paper must be recycled paper.
