Paper recycling

Paper recycling is the process of recovering waste paper and remaking it into new paper products. There are 3 categories of paper that can be used as feedstocks for makingrecycled paper: mill broke, pre-consumer waste, and post-consumer waste. Mill broke is paper trimmings and other paper scrap from the manufacture of paper, and is recycled internally in a paper mill.Pre-consumer waste is material which left the paper mill but was discarded before it was ready for consumer use. Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use, such as old corrugatedcontainers (OCC), old magazines, old newspapers (ONP), office paper, old telephone directories, and residential mixed paper (RMP). Paper suitable for recycling is called "scrap paper", often used to producemolded pulp packaging. The industrial process of removing printing ink from paper fibers of recycled paper to make deinked pulp is called deinking, an invention of the German jurist Justus Claproth.Why recycle ?

Recycle has the following benefits :

Saves raw materials Using recyclables rather than raw material to make new products, uses less energy, water and other resources during themanufacturing process saves natural resources as recyclables are used as raw materials

Reduces pollution Using recyclables rather than raw material to make new products could result in less airand water pollution during the manufacturing process

Saves landfill space Using recyclables as raw materials results in less waste going to landfill, extends the life of landfills so saving scarcelandfill space saves the cost of purchasing and maintaining new landfill sites reduces the cost of transporting waste

Reduces Littering Collecting potential waste for recycling
could reducelittering, could minimize the negative impact of litter on the environment and tourism ,could reduce the cost of picking up litter
