A 1" by 5' by 12' sheet of PaperStone Certified (versus a regular phenolic composite manufactured from virgin fiber and a regular, commercially available, solvent-based resin) saves:
- 1233 gallons of water
- 2.03 million BTU's of energy
- 131 pounds of solid waste
- 254 pounds of greenhouse gases
- 55 pounds of petroleum-based phenol
- 22 pounds of natural gas-based methanol
Regular PaperStone, with a 50% post-consumer recycled content product (versus 100% for PaperStone Certified), saves a similar amount of phenol and methanol but only 50% of the water, energy, solid waste and greenhouse gases listed above.
In either case, purchases of PaperStone products, versus the competitive products, have a surprisingly large impact on our environment.
