Waste paper collected for recycling in Italy

Paper recycling is the process of recovering waste paper and remaking it into new paper products. There are three categories of paper that can be used as feedstocks for making recycled paper: mill broke, pre-consumer waste, and post-consumer waste. Mill broke is paper trimmings and other paper scrap from the manufacture of paper, and is recycled internally in a paper mill. Pre-consumer waste is material which left the paper mill, which has been discarded before it was ready for consumer use. Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use, such as old magazines, old newspapers, office waste, old telephone directories, and residential mixed paper. Paper suitable for recycling is called “scrap paper”.

In this age of green lifestyles, it is important to get with the times and help our earth get back on its feet. There is a lot of pollution in our world due to all of the ways that we have abused it over the last few years. That’s why it is important for us all to start recycling at our own homes and say good riddance to bad rubbish. It is easy to recycle and lessen our carbon footprint, so it is best to start as soon as possible.
