Why use paper logs instead of wood?40%. That’s the percentage of the world’s industrial logging that goes toward the paper manufacturing process right now.
Despite paper usage being reduced in North America, it is growing throughout the world. Paper is expected to exceed 50% of the world’s logging industry in the near future.
Paper production is the third most energy-intensive of all manufacturing industries. It uses 12% of the total energy in the industry sector today.
The paper and pulp industry is the 4th largest contributor of greenhouse gas in the world right now.
26 million tons of paper waste will hit landfills in the United States every 12 months.
16% of landfill space is filled by paper products.
When paper decomposes in a landfill, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas 23x more potent than carbon dioxide.
China and the United States are some of the top consumers globally of paper and cardboard products.
China is currently the largest producer of paper and related products in the world, generating nearly 108 million metric tons in 2014.
That's why the logs we provide are made with recycled paper and cardboard that would otherwise go to waste in a landfill.
Our production process is also 100% Green as well! Recycled rainwater is used in the pulp making process, solar to run the mixer and shredder, and man power to run the presses!
