Paper production has as main inputs water and trees, in a proportion of approximately 10 to 20 trees and 10,000 liters of water for each ton of paper.
To produce recycled paper, no tree is used and the use of water is 75% smaller. In the recycling process, 1.5 tons of used paper and 2,500 liters of water are used to produce 1 ton of recycled paper. In addition, the energy demand is also lower.
Therefore, recycling is good for the environment, protecting the trees and reducing water consumption. Therefore, the sentence is true.
