Paper recycling can be defined as the environmentally friendly process of recovering and processing scrap and waste paper to create new paper products. Rigorous scientific research has demonstrated that manufacturing paper with recycled content has significant environmental and economic benefits.
Based upon wood, a natural renewable resource, paper is both biodegradable and recyclable. Recycling recovered form creates these significant environmental and economic benefits:
The waste paper recycling process includes several process steps, including collection, transportation, sorting, processing into usable raw materials, and finally using that raw material to produce new paper products:
It is crucial to note that recycling paper is not comparable to other types of recycling, such as metal recycling. With metals, the metallic properties are retained after repeated recycling, but recycling paper reduces the length of fibers. The recyclable paper will ultimately reach a point where it can no longer be recycled.
First of all, always check with your waste management facility, and remember the zero-waste lifestyle is about recycling less, not more. Crucial for recycling paper is no contamination in the recycling bin, and this means that bottles and cans need to be empty of liquids. Food containers like pasta sauce jars and yogurt tubs should be rinsed clean. Any food or soda residue that gets on the paper renders it unrecyclable and can ruin an entire bale.
Paper recycling centers take high-grade and mixed-grade office paper commonly found in offices, including copy paper and envelopes. Some centers also accept co-mingled paper products such as magazines, catalogs, and newspapers. Paper recycling centers are usually run by a city’s solid waste management department.
A paper recycling machine comes in multiple forms: a small type that recycles 20 – 100 kg of paper per hour. The medium-sized machine recycles 75 - 250 kg of paper, while the large machine recycles 100 - 500 kg of paper waste. Depending on the budget and requirements, a suitable machine can be purchased.
