Paper recycling in an increasingly environmentally conscious
world is gaining importance. Increased recycling activities are
being driven by robust overseas markets as well as domestic demand.
Recycled fibers play a very important role today in the global
paper industry as a substitute for virgin pulps. Paper recovery
rates continue to increase year after year
Recycling technologies have been improved in recent years by
advances in pulping, flotation deinking and cleaning/screening,
resulting in the quality of paper made from secondary fibres
approaching that of virgin paper. The process is a lot more
eco-friendly than the virgin-papermaking process, using less energy
and natural resources, produce less solid waste and fewer
atmospheric emissions, and helps to preserve natural resources and
landfill space.
Currently more than half of the paper is produced from recovered
papers. Most of them are used to produce brown grades paper and
board but for the last two decades, there is a substantial increase
in the use of recovered papers to produce, through deinking, white
grades such as newsprint, tissue, market pulp.
By using recycled paper, companies can take a significant step
toward reducing their overall environmental impacts. This study
deals with the scientific and technical advances in recycling and
deinking including new developments.
