What is Paper Waste Recycling?

Paper waste recycling is the process of collecting paper waste from your business and transporting it to recycling centres, where it is mixed with chemical fluids to generate a slurry or pulp that is used to make new paper products. By conserving trees, water, and other natural resources through proper paper waste recycling, you contribute to the long-term sustainability of our planet. The more paper we can recycle, the more trees are saved, the less energy is used, and the less pollution is generated.

We use paper for our everyday commercial operations and it’s relatively easy to recycle. In our entire waste stream, 25% is made up of paper products. Around the globe, tropical forests are disappearing at an alarming rate due to poor recycling practises. Because of this, it is vital to make sure that paper waste is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and is always recycling.

The Importance of Paper Waste Recycling

Recycling paper has several advantages, including preventing waste paper contaminants from entering our groundwater and releasing methane into the atmosphere as it decomposes. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials in the manufacturing process, and recycled goods use less water and energy to produce than virgin goods. Paper created from virgin raw materials uses a lot more energy and water compared to paper made from recycled materials. When paper is discarded rather than recycled, it decomposes and releases methane, a strong greenhouse gas.

Paper Waste Recycling Methods

Despite our best efforts, humans can never live without generating waste. Therefore, sustainable waste management facilitates our roles as responsible environmental citizens by carefully, effectively, and sustainably recycling our paper waste. 

The collection and delivery of waste paper to a recycling facility is the first step in recycling waste paper. It’s pulped in a tank using a combination of chemicals to separate the paper’s fibres. Staples, paperclips, and tape, among other things, are removed from these fibres. The fibres are then washed and the ink cleaned in a tank; this procedure must be performed multiple times for the fibres to become whiter. The pulp is then rolled to remove the majority of the water before being treated with whitening chemicals. To make a smoother paper, the pulp is dried by running it through heating rollers. It’s ready to finish and use once it’s dried.
