Benefits of single stream recycling
How can you recycle paper?
The paper waste is collected and then separated into types and grades. All paper waste needs to be washed in order to remove any impurities such as glue, ink or film. Once washed the paper is mixed with water to create a pulp, which is then pressed, dried and rolled into large thin sheets of recycled paper.
