Paper4trees was first introduced to the Waikato Region in 2007.

Since then, a total of 406 schools and preschools have joined Paper4trees!
That is the equivalent to 84% of all Waikato schools and 30% of all Waikato preschools. 
 

Between 2007 and 2025, Waikato schools and preschools have:

​

• Diverted 10,326 tonnes of paper and cardboard from landfill
               - That's around the same as 2,206 elephants!

• Saved 82,614 cubic metres of landfill space

• Prevented 55,764 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being created in landfill

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

37,419 native trees to plant in their school grounds or within their local community.
