Yes, much less time. It takes a matter of minutes to turn paper into pulp (just add water and mix). The whole process of making paper from recovered paper and cardboard takes less than one hour.
Turning a fresh tree into woodchips and then breaking them down to pulp takes much longer and uses much more energy, as well as releasing the carbon that has been stored in the wood perhaps for years.

What are the harmful effects of paper?
If you do not recycle paper then that paper will make its way to the landfill where it will take up space. Paper recycling also helps to reduce the number of trees that paper companies need to grow for paper production. Paper recycling also requires less energy than producing new paper from raw materials. On the other hand paper recycling does require the use of harsh chemicals (bleach) which can be an environmental problem if not handled properly, and the gas given off by decomposing paper in a landfill can be harnessed and converted into energy.
What is the science behind recycling?
