We might be living in the digital age, but the average American still uses "the equivalent of nearly six 40-foot trees' worth of paper each year," said Mike Murphy at Quartz.

The hefty machine breaks down used paper and presses it into fresh, new sheets, producing up to 6,720 letter-size sheets in an eight-hour workday.
