This plant adds wood and recycled paper into a giant blender to produce pulp. After that it's one process.
soonsoon88 said:Erm...you mean for recycled paper making process..
Extra wood and waste paper will be added into a giant blender to produce pulp is the only different ?
turbo-1 said:Actually, the process can be VERY different.

They only make "new" paper in the local mill.
They take wood and recycled paper*, and mix it together.
The only difference in the process will be in how they get the pulp. Once you have that it's the same to get the actual sheets.
Obviously, with recycled paper you need it white going in so you have to bleach it.
*Recycled can be from waste during production and paper that's brought in from outside sources. Strictly speaking, yes, it's waste paper - not sure why you changed the wording.
If something is made from 100% recycled paper, I don't believe it has any new wood added to it.
Making new paper involves several steps. First, wood pulp is mixed with water and chemicals to create a pulp mixture. Next, the pulp is pressed and dried to form thin sheets of paper. The paper is then coated with a layer of clay to make it smooth and coated with chemicals to make it suitable for printing. Finally, the paper is cut into sheets and packaged for distribution.
Recycled paper is beneficial for several reasons. It reduces the need for cutting down trees and helps to conserve natural resources. It also reduces energy consumption and air pollution during the manufacturing process. Additionally, using recycled paper can help to divert waste from landfills and can save water and energy compared to making new paper.
The process of making recycled paper starts with collecting used paper from homes, offices, and other sources. The paper is then sorted and cleaned to remove any contaminants. Next, the paper is chopped into small pieces and mixed with water to create a pulp mixture. The pulp is then refined and screened to remove any remaining impurities. Finally, the pulp is pressed and dried to make new sheets of paper.
Making recycled paper can be challenging due to the variety of materials that can be used in the recycling process. Different types of paper, such as glossy or coated paper, may require different recycling techniques. Additionally, the quality of recycled paper may not always be consistent, as it can be affected by the quality of the original paper and the recycling process itself.
Recycled paper can be used for a variety of paper products, including newspapers, magazines, office paper, and packaging materials. However, it may not be suitable for products that require high-quality paper, such as printing materials or certain types of packaging. In these cases, a combination of recycled paper and new paper may be used to achieve the desired quality.
