What is Waste Paper?
Waste paper is considered a raw material in the recycling cycle. All paper types and cartons that are disposed of are considered waste paper because they are not able to be used in any field of use. In addition, erroneous newspaper prints and surplus newspapers from newspaper printing houses are also considered waste papers. In contrast, absorbent papers designed for single use and papers used for hygiene purposes are not considered waste paper because they cannot be recycled for hygiene and health reasons.
When we use scrap paper again in paper manufacturing, we reduce air pollution by 74-94%, water pollution by 35% and water usage by 45%. If we help the recycling system by separating the packaging wastes from other wastes in our homes and businesses:
