- (D) About 38% of municipal solid waste (before recycling) by weight is
paper and paper products. About 90% of paper is made of wood and
accounts for about 35% of felled trees. Trees grown specifically for paper
production account for 16% of all trees commercially grown and 9% of old
growth forests. The manufacture and use of recycled paper products results
in 35% less water pollution and 74% less air pollution than producing paper
from trees.
