Take a minute to look around the room you're in and notice how many things are made out of paper. There may be books, a few magazines, some printer paper, and perhaps a poster on the wall. Yet, if you consider that each person in Malta and Gozo uses approximately 65 kilograms of paper every year, then you realize that paper comes in many more forms than meets the eye.
The fact is, world consumption of paper has grown four hundred percent in the last 40 years. Now nearly 4 billion trees or 35% of the total trees cut around the world are used in paper industries on every continent. Besides what you can see around you, paper comes in many forms from tissue paper to cardboard packaging to stereo speakers to electrical plugs to home insulation to the sole inserts in your tennis shoes. In short, paper is everywhere.
The manufacturing processes of paper are resource intensive activities which can have major environmental impacts if inappropriately managed.At KASCO we make sure that all the paper we distribute on the isalnds comes from sustainable and internationally-certified afforestation.
In order make our contribution to the environment we are offering a scheme whereby we re-cycle our client's paper. Check out the services section for more information.
