One sheet of notebook paper uses how many trees?

Question

1 peice of notebook paper uses up how much of a tree?

Answer 1

The amount of paper that a tree produces would have to be dependent on the number of times it is recycled before it is discarded, burned, put in landfill, or becomes someone's insulation.

It will not be  infinite unless we are making the paper from fibre other than trees.

Answer 2

According to one paper manufacturer, a cord of wood measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet—or 128 cubic feet—produces nearly 90,000 sheets of bond-quality paper or 2,700 copies of a 35-page newspaper.

Notebook paper is half the weight of bond, so figure on 180,000 sheets from one tree that cut down would be one cord of wood 128 cubic feet.

There are 221,184 cubic inches in 128 cubic feet.  So one sheet of notebook paper requires about one cubic inch of your tree.

Try to recycle.

Answer 3

Since paper is made from wood pulp, and the pulp is the product of processing chips obtained from many pulpwood trees, one could postulate your sheet of notebook paper was made from numerous trees, possibly hundreds of trees.
