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.
