how many trees cut to make a sheet of paper?

Question

to inform paper consumers what's the damage - pls let me have a official texting saying how many trees are cut down to manufacture xx kg./ton of paper [before recycling]

Answer 1

In the 2007 World Almanac, It says that it takes 17 trees to make 1 ton of paper.

I hope this helps ;)

Answer 2

I saw on The Discovery Channel a program on recycling. In this program they mentioned a number, 6 tons of wood pulp to make 1 ton of paper. With recycled paper materals added, it took 3 tons of wood pulp to make 1 ton of paper. They used this to illustrate the benefit of recycliing because it takes much less energy and water to process 3 tons instead of 6 tons and I just happened to remember it. I also wondered how many trees went into making 6 tons of wood pulp, but that question was never answered.

Answer 3

Technically about .0000001. yet because you may't decrease down a lot less that one tree, that's almost like dividing with the help of 0--undefined. So, a decision should be made as to climate the piece of paper in question is necessary badly sufficient to justify scaling down yet another tree. or perchance that's basically sitting a warehouse someplace, and no timber favor to fall for the reason. And get a pastime. you've totally too a lot time on your hands.

Answer 4

One pine tree produces 413000 sheets of paper, from its pulp, not from adding recycled material.
