Especially with these things, which are usually produced and used in particularly large numbers, sustainability should definitely be kept in mind - and recycled paper should be preferred. When comparing systems from an ecological point of view, paper products made from recycled paper perform much better in terms of resource consumption, waste water pollution, water and energy consumption than paper products with a predominantly primary fibre content. Compared to conventional virgin fibre paper, the production of recycled paper saves*:

The submerged part of a ship – the hull – will over time become overgrown with water organisms such as algae, barnacles or muscles. This fouling increases the frictional resistance of the ship, which reduces the speed and increases fuel consumption. In addition, fouling can damage the hull itself or effect the manoeuvrability of the ship.
