Paper recycling: how it works<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1477061551235{padding-bottom: 68px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-6″][vc_column_text]As with other materials, the disposal<\/strong> process becomes challenging also for paper and cardboard<\/strong>. However, paper is a recyclable material and can be reused through its transformation into waste paper. Paper recycling<\/strong> always starts from a separate collection carried out by citizens to prolong cellulose’s life. After collecting and storing it, paper goes through the paper recycling process<\/strong>, which comprises several steps.<\/p>\n

How does paper recycling take place?<\/strong> It all starts with the sorting process. During sorting, the usable fibers of the waste paper are separated from the impurities, such as residues of plastic, metal, wood, and more. Usually, the process is mechanical, although the operators can manually split it into types for more accurate sorting – by running the paper on a conveyor belt. After that, the paper is pressed and bound into bales to be sent to paper mills. Now, the waste paper is thrown into the so-called pulpers: large vats of hot water where, thanks to the swirling motion generated by rotating paddles, the paper is pulped to separate its fibers.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-6″][vc_column_text]The resulting mixture undergoes further processing to remove any remaining contaminants. The following process is de-inking, eliminating any inks or prints still present, especially if the goal is to obtain white paper. The paper recycling steps<\/strong> continue according to as many refining processes as necessary to separate the pulp from dross and impurities.<\/p>\n

At this point of the paper recycling process<\/strong>, the pulp is back to being a raw material ready to be reused. The passage inside the paper machine allows the pulp to be spread and dried, pressed through rollers, and shaped into various formats with different thicknesses, which will be reintroduced into the market.<\/p>\n

\n
\n First Step <\/h5>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Paper waste from municipal and industrial collection flows into the recovery plants.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n Second Step <\/h5>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The recovery plant sorts and separates paper materials by type, removing impurities. The processed material becomes End of Waste.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n Third Step <\/h5>\n <\/div>\n
\n

In the form of End of Waste, the pulp is sent to the paper mill, where it will be pulped and cleaned of plastic or metal residues.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

The paper pulp, once dried, will be wound into reels ready to be re-marketed through box makers, corrugators, and the printing industry.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
