To Whom it May Concern,
I am attempting to do some research in finding out the difference in carbon emissions in creating products; for virgin products and recycled products.

Hopefully you can point me in the right direction.
Here is specifically what I am looking for:

• What are the carbon emissions when creating new paper (broken down by any weight so it is consistent through it all)
• What are the carbon emissions when processing and creating new products from recycled paper
• What are the carbon emissions when creating new aluminum products
• What are the carbon emission when processing and creating new products from recycled aluminum

And so forth for plastic, glass and steel. Can you offer any assistance or guide me in the correct direction?
Thank you for your time and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sincerely,

Sara James
