Challenges42% of wood in the world is used to make paper, 17% even coming from virgin forests, even though this biosphere must be respected and protected.
In addition, between 12,000 and 50,000 liters of water are required per tonne of paper produced (recycled or non-recycled paper), the paper industry also being very energy intensive.
According to the Ecological Transition Agency, paper represents 75% of office waste and is ultimately very little recycled.
