At a time when the world is becoming increasingly aware of how fragile our environment is, many changes have been made by the printing industry to reduce its adverse effects on the environment and to become more environmentally conscious. The paper packaging products are eco-friendly, recycled and cost-effective.

The paper manufacturing industry comprising the Veepee Group and other world paper processing industries generates annual sales of around $170 billion and as well employs approximately 500,000 employees. About three-quarters of these workers have production jobs. Because the paper and packaging industry is highly automated, most production workers operate machines that do the processing.

Veepee Group has directly and indirectly, impacts life in different ways. For many people, the industry acts as a source of employment as they generate revenue. Their aim of recycling waste products has limited the effect of global warming, which has a detrimental impact on life and has also reduced timber cutting known as deforestation.

These are few of the benefits of how paper recycling benefits lives:

• Forest preservation is the most obvious benefit as fewer trees are cut.
• Less pollution
• Smaller landfills
• Energy conservation
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

The availability of so much recycled paper is the reason why raw materials for paper manufacturing do not make up a more significant percentage of the raw materials. Reducing the use of fresh trees in papermaking is thus a significant benefit of paper recycling.

The impact of recycling paper on the environment is enormous. Paper majorly made from trees, and when you start recycling, it means trees are saved. When trees are saved, they will help in preserving soil. When soil is preserved, it helps in sustaining animal life. When animal life is sustained, it helps us, humans. The environment we live in is interlinked, and when part of it is destroyed, it can affect all other aspects too.
