How is paper recycled?
A number of different types of paper - newspapers, shopping boxes and even scribbling pads - can be recycled.

The better quality paper collected, the higher the quality of the recycled paper that is produced.
Items such as staples, sticky tape, glue, plastic, metal clips and food must be taken out before the paper is recycled.

Following sorting, recycled paper is squeezed together to form big blocks of paper.
At a paper mill, the waste paper is mixed with water in a machine like a washing machine. In this process, between 10% and 30% of the waste paper's volume is lost because the paper is made up of fillers and other materials like clay that are absorbed in water.

For some products, the ink on the paper must be washed off. In this process, a slush of paper and water is mixed with a detergent and air to form some froth on the top of the mixture (like bubbles in a bubble bath).
This froth is skimmed off and the mix is ready to go into the paper machine before it can be dried and made into new paper.

Waste paper can be recycled about anywhere between five to ten times. You can’t recycle the same piece of paper forever, because the fibers break down and cannot form a strong enough "web" to make paper.
What are the benefits to the environment from recycling paper?
The main environmental benefit from recycling is the lower volume of rubbish going to tips.

In some circumstances, recycling can reduce the amount of electricity used in making paper and therefore the amount of greenhouse gases emitted.
Since recycling mainly replaces fibers from trees grown in plantations ("virgin fiber ") or waste from other timber harvesting, it reduces the impact on the logging of world's native forests.

Paper Cups – Friendly to the Environment
It is proven that the thin poly coating on paper cups will break down into inert pieces of dust in the presence of oxygen in just three weeks.
This is in stark contrast to other cups currently on market which are not recyclable.
The billions of people in the world who turn out each year to “Clean up the world” will attest that foam and polystyrene cups are a pest that clog up our waterways and remain in our rivers and canals virtually indefinitely.
The Beijing Olympic Games Organizing Committee opted for paper cups for the 2008 Beijing Games due to their superior recycling properties and biodegradability in preference over polystyrene and foam.
