NEW! SCS Global Services Report, Life Cycle Assessment of  Reincarnation 100 Coated Freesheet Paper,  Compared to Virgin Paper Baseline (2015)
Summary:  Key findings using actual mill data from 100% postconsumer recycled and virgin coated paper mills -- recycled paper has:

• Has less than one percent of the impact in terms   of Global Climate Change and Ocean                 Acidification,

• Avoids impacts from logging on more than 100 endangered species,

• Uses one quarter of the water used to manufacture virgin coated paper,

• Has no impacts on rivers or wetlands from recurring logging of large forest tracts, and
• Avoids harvesting of at least 12,000 acres of multiple forest types.

National Geographic Society, Life Cycle Assessment of Deinked and Virgin Pulp (2012)

Summary:  There is a benefit in 14 of 14 environmental impact categories studied to using recovered fiber derived bleached pulp versus virgin bleached pulp (either mechanical, or kraft or a kraft/mechanical blend). Categories studied included:
  • Carcinogens
  • Human health impacts other than cancer, such as organ damage, reproductive difficulty, and nervous system impairment.  
  • Human respiratory effects
  • Climate Change
  • Acid Rain
  • Eutrophication - reduction in water quality
  • Ozone Depletion
  • Ecotoxicity - adverse effects on aquatic or terrestrial organisms
  • Fossil Energy Consumption
  • Wood Use
