Paper4trees was first introduced to the Auckland Region in 2007.

Since then, a total of 1,228 schools and preschools have joined Paper4trees!
That is the equivalent to 77% of all Auckland schools and 55% of all Auckland preschools.
 

Between 2007 and 2026, Auckland schools and preschools have:

​

• Diverted 16,583 tonnes of paper and cardboard from landfill
               - That's around the same as 3,544 elephants!

• Saved 132,688 cubic metres of landfill space

• Prevented 89,458 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being created in landfill

Isn't this an amazing effort? We think so, which is why we have rewarded Auckland schools and preschools with a total of...

58,481 native trees to plant in their school grounds or within their local community.
