Paper Recycling

Your paper will ultimately end up in a recycling plant and made into recycled paper to be re-used. The process involves transporting all your paper waste to a recycling plant after completing the paper waste collections. The paper waste recycling process typically involves mixing used or old paper with chemicals and water to break it down. Then, the paper is chopped up and heated, breaking it down further into cellulose strands and creating a resulting mixture called pulp or slurry. Furthermore, the pulp is strained through screens, eliminating any plastic and glue traces. Also, it is de-inked, bleached, and mixed with water.
