go green !!

This are how paper recycle:

1. Paper is taken from the bin and deposited in a large recycling container along with paper from other recycling bins.
2. The paper is taken to a recycling plant where it is separated into types and grades.
3. 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’.
4. By adding different materials to the slurry, different paper products can be created, such as cardboard, newsprints or office paper.
5. The slurry is spread using large rollers into large thin sheets.
6. The paper is left to dry, and then it is rolled up ready to be cut and sent back to the shops.

Do you know how much waste you make?



Each ton (2000 lbs) of recycled paper we produce can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, three cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water. This represents a 64% energy savings, a 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less of air pollution!

The three steps : Reduce, Re-use, and Recycle.
