Paper4trees was first introduced to the Marlborough Region in 2009.

Since then, a total of 31 schools and preschools have joined Paper4trees!
That is the equivalent to 83% of all Marlborough schools and 15% of all preschools.
 

Between 2009 and 2025, Marlborough schools and preschools have:

​

• Diverted 605 tonnes of paper and cardboard from landfill
               - That's around the same as 129 elephants!

• Saved 4,847 cubic metres of landfill space

• Prevented 3,272 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being created in landfill

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

2,671 native trees to plant in their school grounds or within their local community.
