5. Comparison of processes
Area for comparison/ Process
Recycling
Virgin Paper and Incineration
Energy in the process
Less (could be renewable)
25% more but could be renewable
Incineration generates energy and replaces fossil fuels (toxin removal)
Energy in transport
More
Less since it tends to be shorted distances but not always the case
Pollution
Toxins to landfill
CO2 from transport supports forest growth
Air and water pollution from pulp and paper
other
Inhibits attempts to use incineration as alternate energy source
What could be better forest management that to reduce the number of trees needed to be cut?
Stimulus responsible forest management
Inhibits attempts to improve energy efficiency
