Recycled paper/card bales
Recycling generates an overall saving of 40 – 90 euros per tonne, in comparison with incineration.
They are produced from cellulose fibres, principally sourced from trees. Each year, the global paper industry consumes 40% of the planet’s commercially felled timber, 17% of which is sourced from virgin forests.
