Environment

Its up to the designer to minimise the environmental footprint of the final project. This means where possible choosing non-toxic, recycled or reused materials, and minimise the project's carbon footprint.

Using recycled paper uses less energy and creates fewer emissions than virgin paper

The process of felling trees, transporting them for processing, the pulping and manufacturing processes, and the distribution of the resulting paper uses a large amount of energy – mostly from fossil fuels. Recycled paper requires only a fraction of this processing, using between 28 and 70% less energy.
