Recycling
is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be
thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old
newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims
the original material and uses it in new products.
In
general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires
less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution,
either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing
the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.
Paper
products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and
office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In
newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants
such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant
where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works
much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove
smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates
from the paper fibers and floats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried
and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new
wood fibers to be made into paper again.
