Nelson Tasman

Paper4trees was first introduced to the Nelson Tasman Region in 2008.

Since then, a total of 57 schools and preschools have joined Paper4trees!
That is the equivalent to 83% of all Nelson Tasman schools.
 

Between 2007 and 2024, Nelson and Tasman schools and preschools have:

​

• Diverted 1,775 tonnes of paper and cardboard from landfill
               - That's around the same as 379 elephants!

• Saved 14,201 cubic metres of landfill space

• Prevented 9,585 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being created in landfill

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

5,844 native trees! to plant in their school grounds or within their local community.
