Paper recycling
A Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable resource: trees.
Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, trees are replaceable. Paper is also
biodegradable, so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded. WhUe 45 out
of every 100 tonnes of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest
comes directly from virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards this is a good
performance since the worldwide average is 33 per cent waste paper. Governments have encouraged
waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time, the paper industry has responded by
developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for even greater utilisation of used
fibre. As a result, industry's use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin
fibre over the coming years.
В Already, waste paper constitutes 70 % of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology
required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing
paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contribute. We need to accept a
change in the quality of paper products; for example stationery may be less white and of a rougher
texture. There also needs to be support from the community for waste paper collection programs. Not
only do we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into different
types and sorted from contaminants such as staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items.
С There are technical limitations to the amount of paper which can be recycled and some paper
products cannot be collected for reuse. These include paper in the form of books and permanent
records, photographic paper and paper which is badly contaminated. The four most common sources of paper for recycling are factories and retail stores which gather large amounts of packaging material in
which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business documents and computer
output, paper converters and printers and lastly households which discard newspapers and packaging
material. The paper manufacturer pays a price for the paper and may also incur the collection cost.
D Once collected, the paper has to be sorted by hand by people trained to recognise various types of
paper. This is necessary because some types of paper can only be made from particular kinds of
recycled fibre. The sorted paper then has to be repulped or mixed with water and broken down into its
individual fibres. This mixture is called stock and may contain a wide variety of contaminating
materials, particularly if it is made from mixed waste paper which has had little sorting. Various
machinery is used to remove other materials from the stock. After passing through the repulping
process, the fibres from printed waste paper are grey in colour because the printing ink has soaked into
the individual fibres. This recycled material can only be used in products where the grey colour does
not matter, such as cardboard boxes but if the grey colour is not acceptable, the fibres must be de
inked. This involves adding chemicals such as caustic soda or other alkalis, soaps and detergents,
waterhardening agents such as calcium chloride, frothing agents and bleaching agents. Before the
recycled fibres can be made into paper they must be refined or treated in such a way that they bond
together.
E Most paper products must contain some virgin fibre as well as recycled fibres and unlike glass, paper
cannot be recycled indefinitely. Most paper is downcycled which means that a product made from
recycled paper is of an inferior quality to the original paper. Recycling paper is beneficial in that it
saves some of the energy, labour and capital that goes into producing virgin pulp. However, recycling
requires the use of fossil fuel, a nonrenewable energy source, to collect the waste paper from the
community and to process it to produce new paper. And the recycling process still creates emissions
which require treatment before they can be disposed of safely. Nevertheless, paper recycling is an
important economical and environmental practice but one which must be carried out in a rational and
viable manner for it to be useful to both industry and the community.
Complete the summary below of the first two paragraphs of the Reading Passage. Choose ONE OR
TWO WORDS from the Reading Passage for each answer. Write your answers in gaps.
SUMMARY
From the point of view of recycling, paper has two advantages over minerals and oil in that firstly it
comes from a resource which is _______ and secondly it is less threatening to our environment when
we throw it away because it is ________ Although Australia's record in the reuse of waste paper is
good, it is still necessary to use a combination of recycled fibre and __________ to make new paper.
The paper industry has contributed positively and people have also been encouraged by __________ to
collect their waste on a regular basis. One major difficulty is the removal of ink from used paper but
_________ are being made in this area. However, we need to learn to accept paper which is generally
of a lower ________ than before and to sort our waste paper by removing ________ before discarding
it for collection.
