Question

It takes more energy to create paper than to recycle it.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Recycling is a process to convert something from scratch to a usable form. It saves the energy as compared to the creation because in creating a new product, new natural resources are consumed while in recycling the existing resources are altered to a usable form which consumes approximately 80-90% less energy than creation. Therefore, recycling paper consumes less energy as compared to create it.
