According to non-profit group Conservatree, it takes an average of 24 trees to make a ton (2,000 pounds) of typical office paper. It takes about 12 trees to make a ton (2,000 pounds) of thinner magazine or phone book paper.

They also estimate that 1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets.

It is important to note that rarely are trees harvested solely to make paper. They are harvested for lumber production and the scraps are pulped to make paper.

Since trees are different sizes, it would be difficult to say how much paper comes from one tree. According to one paper manufacturer, however, a cord of wood measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet-or 128 cubic feet-produces nearly 90,000 sheets of bond-quality paper or 2,700 copies of a 35-page newspaper.
