Recycling one tonne of paper saves numerous resources, including 13 trees, 2.5 barrels of oil, and 31,780 liters of water. Australia boasts a high paper recycling rate of 87%, yet the per capita consumption of virgin paper remains significant at 230 kg annually, impacting greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation. The recycling process involves collecting, sorting, pulping, de-inking, and drying to produce new paper products.
