Doesn’t it seem like an environmental disaster?

Yes, it does.

Fortunately, we can turn things around if we reuse waste paper. In reality, waste paper is not to waste anymore. It is as good as virgin paper if we recycled it properly. And you would be surprised to know the cost of the products made from recycled paper actually cost about the same as those made from virgin paper. So why not reuse waste paper. And if you run a waste paper recycling business, not only you can earn loads of money but also do good for every life on the earth by protecting trees. So here are the six ways to reuse waste paper grades of different types:

Printer or copier paper

U.S offices use 12.1 trillion sheets of paper a year. So reusing waste paper to produce environmental-friendly printer or copier paper is a great idea.  

Toilet paper

Another great way to reuse waste paper is by making recycled toilet tissue paper rolls. You can produce quality toilet paper using waste paper. According to a recent study, if every household in the United States replaced just one roll of virgin fiber toilet paper with 100% recycled ones, we could save 423,900 trees. All these reports and studies simply show we could have protected millions of trees if we have been little aware.
