Do you ever think about consumption of paper and how much we use? It takes about 24 trees to make one ton of Printer Paper. Humans use about 90 million short tons of paper in a year. Just think about how that transpires. Every year the United States produces 2 billion books, 350 million magazines, and 24 billion newspapers. Think about the money your restaurant spends on printer paper. On average our case of printing paper goes for about $58. With all the current loss of resources and money for your restaurant, there has to be a better way.
