Paper4trees was first introduced to the Wellington Region in 2007.

Since then, a total of 500 schools and preschools have joined Paper4trees!
That is the equivalent to 93% of all Wellington schools and 65% of all Wellington preschools.
 

Between 2007 and 2024, Wellington schools and preschools have:

​

• Diverted 7,479 tonnes of paper and cardboard from landfill
               - That's around the same as 1,555 elephants!

• Saved 59832 cubic metres of landfill space

• Prevented 39936 tonnes of carbon dioxide from being created in landfill

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

29,402 native trees! to plant in their school grounds or within their local community.
