Falcor Systems offers many solutions to help reduce or even eliminate the use of paper in your home or office. From eFax systems to digital filing systems, we can reduce the global carbon footprint.

Consider these facts:

• Americans use over 67,000,000 tons of paper each year, or 600 pounds per person.
• It takes more than 500,000 trees to produce the newspapers Americans read each Sunday, yet only 30% of all newspapers are recycled.
• Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, 7,000 gallons of water and 4,100 kilowatt hours of electricity - enough energy to power the average American home for 5 months.
• Producing recycled paper requires about 60% of the energy used to make paper from virgin wood pulp.
• Every day, Americans buy 62 million newspapers and throw out 44 million. That's the equivalent of dumping 500,000 trees into a landfill every week.
• If everyone in the U.S. recycled just 1/10th of their newsprint, we would save the estimated equivalent of about 25 million trees a year.
• In the manufacturing process of recycled paper
  • 74% less air pollution is generated
  • 35% less water pollution is generated
  • 58% less water is required
  • 64% less energy is required
• One ton of high-grade recyclable paper can substitute for approximately 3 tons of wood in making new paper products.
• Every year more than 900 million trees are cut down to provide raw materials for American paper and pulp mills.

With your help, we can reduce these numbers and make our planet a cleaner, safer home for our children and our children's children.
