Example: Paper
• Products:– books– magazines– newspapers– notebook and computer
paper– boxes– grocery bags– egg and milk cartons– tissue and toilet paper
• Stats– Each year in the U.S.,
paper is used to:• produce 2 billion books• 350 million magazines• 24 billion newspapers
– Recycling:• ~45% in the U.S.
Papermaking - Basic steps:• Raw material - cellulose
– chips – textile waste– logs – plant materials (bamboo,– recycled paper products straw, flax, kenaf, bagasse)
• Pulping - separating wood fibers– mechanical – chemical
• Bleaching• Forming - turning pulp into paper
– remove the water

Making specific types of paper:
• Basic differences include:– raw material (logs vs. chips, species)– pulping method– bleached or unbleached– post-processing– additives
Newspaper:
• Common processes:– thermo-mechanical (TMP)
• steam & pressure• refine
– stonegroundwood (SGW)• grind logs against stone

Corrugated containers(a.k.a. “cardboard”)
• 3-layer product– top and bottom = linerboard– middle layer = corrugating medium
• Chemical pulping
Notebook paper:
• Process similar to linerboard except pulp is bleached

Tissue
• Made soft by crimping back and forth before winding onto drum
• Recycled content ~60%
Magazine
Magazine paper
• Mineral fillers (e.g., clay) added to pulp to improve printability and texture, increase opacity, and decrease absorbency

Recycling:• UNCED estimates recycled fiber accounts for
~20% of global wood fiber consumption• Primary sources (~80%)
– corrugated boxes– newspapers– office papers
• Uses– Non de-inked: roofing paper, corrugated containers,
cereal and shoe boxes, drywall liner– De-inked: newsprint, tissues, other “bright” papers
Recycling - The Process:
• Re-pulpContaminant removal– “ragger”– screening– cleaning
• Forming
