Paper Recycling – It Saves Trees and Makes Sense

One item which is routinely recycled in the United States is paper.  Which has been used and converted back into paper pulp and used to create recycled paper products such as copier paper, newspaper, toilet paper and tissue.  Approximately half of the paper used in the U.S. today is recycled, much of it coming from commercial business programs.

Recycling of  paper is not without its environmental issues.  The act of turning old paper into new paper pulp entails a lot of work and machinery found in large industrial plants.  While no one in their right mind would suggest that paper recycling is not necessary, it is a process which requires a significant amount of energy to complete.  It has to be transported to the plants, made back into pulp, and then new paper and corrugated supplies must be made.  The whole process requires fossil fuels and a significant amount of energy to complete.

Commercial recycling programs amount to about 80% of all paper recycled today.  Businesses of just about any size now have containers throughout their buildings for their employees to put their used paper into.  When visiting a business today you will often find a container for white paper and another for colored.  The different papers need to be separated for recycling .  Newspaper can also be recycled and requires its own container.

Once the containers are full they are generally hauled off by the local waste disposal company and taken to a plant for processing.

There are many ways that you, as an individual, can support the recycling process.  The easiest is to put your used paper into your kitchen garbage recycling containers.  From there you can dump them into your compost pile and they will break-down into soil, just as normal household kitchen garbage will.
Another way you can support recycling is to purchase recycled cards and recycled paper checks along with your recycled paper for your copier .
By using recycled paper products you are helping to support recycling in your area, and helping to eliminate trees being cut from the forests.

Next time you visit your local grocery market be sure to notice whether or not they are using recycled paper shopping bags.  If they are they make a nice change from using the usual plastic ones made from petroleum products.

When you shop be on the lookout for recycled paper products such as recycled toilet paper, recycled tissue and recycled paper towels.  By supporting the companies who make these products you are supporting paper recycling.
