WE RECYCLE
Paper and Paperboard
Today, almost any kind of used paper can be recycled, including newspapers, magazines and packaging materials, 4 to 6 times. Around half of the total amount of paper to be recycled comes from companies and more than a third from households.
The paper recycling process consists of several parts. The first step is a thorough sorting according to the composition of the paper and its degree of wear. Next, larger quantities are compressed into bales to make their transport to the processing site as efficient as possible. In the paper mills, water and other additives are used to pulp the paper, removing impurities and unwanted impurities. The fibres, thus cleaned, partially dewatered and bleached, are then pressed using huge rollers to ensure that the moisture is completely removed.
The final product is placed on wide rollers ready for the production of new products for customers.
"If we recycled all newspapers, we would save
every year more than 250 million trees."
