DEFINITION OF PAPER RECYCLING:
It is a process to convert used paper to the new, re-useable paper
Recycling has become increasingly important to society and industry to meet the goals of cost reduction, efficient management of limited resources
In the past it was commonplace to landfill old newspapers, used office paper, worn-out cardboard boxes, and other paper and paperboard products.
WHY RECYCLING OF PAPER?
One of the things we use most often especially in school, office or many purposes is paper.
paper can be made from a variety of natural materials including …..
Because paper is so important to us and we use so much of it, we need to make sure we don’t waste it. It only takes a second to use a paper napkin or tissue, but decades for a tree to grow. Fortunately, we can save trees by using less paper and by recycling paper.
Recycling also helps control waste disposal problems.
For every ton of paper recovered for recycling, about 3 cubic yards of landfill space are saved.
recovering paper for recycling can save communities money that they would otherwise have to spend for disposal.
Why we should use Recycled Paper?
Recycling one stack of newspapers about six feet tall saves the life of one tree 35 feet tall. Recycling approximately one ton saves 17 trees.
Recycling saves: One ton of paper saves 17 trees, 350 pounds of limestone, 60,000 gallons of water, 9,000 pounds of steam, 275 pounds of sulfur, 225 kilowatt hours and 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.
Produces less pollution than virgin paper production
PAPER RECYCLING PROCESS
Sorting
we must keep our paper free from contaminants, such as food, plastic, metal, and other trash, which make paper difficult to recycle.
Collection and Transportation
You may take your sorted paper to a local recycling center or recycling bin. the collected paper is wrapped in tight bales and transported to a paper mill, where it will be recycled into new paper.
