| In 2004 recycled paper and board provided about 74% of the source materials for the 6.2million tonnes of paper manufactured in the UK's 76 paper and board mills. A further 7.7 million tonnes were imported. In 2003/04, paper and card accounted for almost a third of all household waste collected for recycling, with almost 1.3 million tonnes being collected in England. Paper recycling is very environmentally friendly; for every tonne of paper used for recycling the savings are: - at least 30,000 litres of water
- 3000 - 4000 KWh electricity (enough for an average 3 bedroom house for one year)
- 95% fewer polluting emissions to air.
