This are how paper recycle:
- Paper is taken from the bin and deposited in a large recycling container along with paper from other recycling bins.
- The paper is taken to a recycling plant where it is separated into types and grades.
- The separated paper is then washed with soapy water to remove inks, plastic film, staples and glue. The paper is put into a large holder where it is mixed with water to create ‘slurry’.
- By adding different materials to the slurry, different paper products can be created, such as cardboard, newsprints or office paper.
- The slurry is spread using large rollers into large thin sheets.
- The paper is left to dry, and then it is rolled up ready to be cut and sent back to the shops.
