The correct answer to this question is False. Recylcling as a whole is important. Studies are done all the time to show how recycling could better our environment. However, recent studies show that recycling of paper would only reduce demand by 12 to 13% percent.
Any percent is great, but it is not as high as the question suggests, making the statement false. Studies also show that even with heavy recycling, the demand for virgin fiber will continue to grow. These demands are due to population growth and the time it will take for technology to create advances for recycling.
False (f)-false. several recent studies have shown that while paper recycling is extremely important, and a major contributor to reducing demand for virgin pulpwood, increasing recycling to the maximum level allowed by current technology would have the effect of reducing demand for virgin fiber by only 12-13 percent. moreover, when taking into consideration the time that will be required to move to the technological limit of recycling, and the population growth that will occur in the meantime, it is likely that demand for virgin fiber will continue to increase, even with aggressive recycling programs.
