How Your Business Can Recycle Paper

September 4, 2007 · Written by Joel

It may seem obvious, but a lot of us still do not recycle office paper and newspapers. Offices of small and medium sized businesses account for nearly two thirds of all commercial waste and yet most are not recycling. Paper used in photocopies and printers has the lowest recycling rate of all types of paper, at just 14% in the UK.
