From Domtar comes one of the best pro-paper campaigns ever. The premise is that paper has been banned and certain paper “addicts” just can’t dump the habit.

The paper industry has the stigma of being incredibly harmful for the environment, but Domtar is fighting for the truth! Here’s some fun facts for you:
- Paper’s primary raw materials are renewable resources. The paper and forest products industry plants more than 1.7 million trees every day in the U.S. alone. That’s three more times than what is harvested.
- Paper is biodegradable, recyclable, and reusable. Almost 60% of all paper is recycled in the U.S.
- The paper industry is one of the world’s largest users of renewable, low-carbon energy. 60% of the energy used to make paper in the U.S. comes from self-generated carbon-neutral renewable resources.
I hope this enlightens you, and that you will reconsider the outlaw of print within your organization.
