here is your answer...
It is advised to recycle paper even if it is biodegradable. This is because, Paper is made by cutting more than 100 trees per day. This kind of cutting indiscriminately would lead to deforestation and imbalance in the nature.
Due to this we face various consequences like, Lack of Oxygen in nature, Pollution filled environment and also less amount of rain in the country.
Hence to avoid such consequences we must recycle paper even when it is biodegradable to save trees from getting cut down.
paper may be bio-degradable but that doesn't mean we will keep wasting paper. for making one ton of paper, approximately 24 trees are required. and today, people use 300 million of tons of paper per year. now calculate, how many trees we have to cut down for paper every year = 24 * 300 = 7200 trees
7200 trees are cut down every year just to fulfill the needs of people. and what we are doing? we are simple wasting it. trees play a very important role in our life. without trees there's no life. if we start to waste paper, then it means we are wasting trees too.
to save this generation and future generations, it's necessary to recycle paper so there'll be less wastage of paper. each ton of paper can save 17 trees. so in a year = 300 * 17 = 5100 trees. not only this, recycling of paper can save a lot many things like water, oil, energy etc.
so save papers.. save environment xD
