Is Paper Sustainable? Let\u2019s Bust Some Myths!<\/h3>\n

In Spain, forests are growing year after year, paper mills are energy- and recycling-efficient, and the paper sector is a leader in innovation and circularity. Paper not only doesn\u2019t pollute\u2014it helps capture CO\u2082, is mostly recycled, and comes from renewable sources.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”32″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column css_animation=”zoomIn”][mvc_flip_box style=”3d” height=”120″ info_opt=”show_icon” size=”25″ descrsize=”18″ font_icon=”fas fa-mouse-pointer” icon_size=”25″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” title=”MYTH” front_bg=”#DE1111″ bgcolor=”#4BB000″ color=”#FFFFFF” descrcolor=”#FFFFFF”]<\/p>\n

TRUTH<\/span><\/h3>\n

Digital technologies, the internet, and AI consume vast amounts of energy, raw materials, and water:<\/span><\/h4>\n

They are responsible for 1.5\u20133.2% of global emissions.<\/span><\/h4>\n

They require critical minerals as raw materials and generate digital waste\u2014hard to manage\u2014totaling 10.5 million tons worldwide.<\/span><\/h4>\n

They use large amounts of water for infrastructure cooling.
\nIn 2022, Google consumed 21.2 billion liters of water.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Paper, besides being renewable and biodegradable, performs better environmentally in terms of emissions and recycling compared to digital technologies.<\/span><\/h4>\n
