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

Answer 1

1. 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.
2. 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.

Answer 2

How much water is used to make one ton of paper?

Ans. There are paper plants which have Zero Effluent Discharge. That means these plants reuse all their water. If no water is reused, a paper plant may use as much as 300-400 tonne, or cubic meters, of water to make one short ton (2000 lbs.) of paper. However, most water-efficient paper plants in North America and Europe use 10-25 tonne, or cubic meters, of water per short ton of paper. Converting to English units of measure, producing one ton (2000 lbs.) of paper requires 2642-6604 gallons of water. And since one ton of paper makes about 400 reams, one ream of paper requires approximately 7-17 gallons of water.

One ton paper make about 400 reams of paper. So one ream will take about 20, 000/400 = 50 litres.
