Weight of 30 elephants in paper each year

Paperless trade papier

The weight of 30 elephants, that’s the yearly weight of paper we use per person. We already know that nature is having a rough time. But, did you realise that each year 8.8 million hectares of forests are felled to process in paper? It’s time for a renewal: Paperless Trade.
