Best Answer

It depends on the size of the paper in the ream and which ton are you talking.

Metric Ton = 1000 Kgs = 2205 lbs

Long Ton = 2240 lb

Short Ton = 2000 lb

Each ream of copying paper size 8.5"x11" weigh about 5 lbs. Do your calculation.

How much water is used to make a ream of paper?

It takes 1 tree to make a paper bag. But it is saving if you don't use them if you don't you save billions of trees.That is an overstatement of someone not understanding how it works. Most trees cut are used to make lumber to built houses, 50% of the tree (residuals) make wood chips to make paper, diaper, magazines, cups, box etc. Finally wood is a renewable resource that is most helpful to the environment WHILE it is growing. Plastic is NOT renewable, so is steel.
