Waste Paper
Waste paper is
collected from Waste Paper Banks and Commercial collections. When you deposit
your used papers into a waste paper bank, you are sorting the paper into grades
before the merchant collects it. This is why you can only put certain papers
into a particular bank.
Many offices have
in place an office recycling scheme. Again the waste paper is usually segregated
ready to be collected.
Waste paper
currently represents 67% of the raw material used in the UK to make paper and
board.
The waste paper
merchant collects the used paper which is then sorted by hand into different
grades. Paper not suitable for recycling is removed.
The waste paper
merchant will then bale the waste paper ready to be taken to the paper mill.
