How much paper dose one tree make?

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.
