Follow on Google News | How is Paper Recycled by EcoShred?Ever wondered how paper is recycled – at ecoshred we understand the science and the practicalities of paper shredding.
The Chinese discovered that they could make a thin paste of mulberry bark, hemp and rags and let it dry into a sheet in the sun. Many types of paper are now made from wood. The modern day method of making paper is very similar to hundreds of years ago, however the way we recycle paper has changed. Shredded and assorted paper is mixed with chemicals that dissolve the glue-like lignin holding the paper fibers together. This process leaves a pulp made of cellulose fibers and lots of water. The pulp is then flattened is put on a screen to let the water drain away. The fibers remain to form a sheet of paper that is dried and put on a roll. Used paper can be recycled upto 7 times depending on the grade and can be turned in lots of useful items that can be sold back onto the market.
