Paper recycling
Besides cardboard recycling, Nicholls & Pearce offer paper recycling and office recycling schemes which are designed to help your organisation efficiently manage waste. Paper can be recycled around 5 times until the fibres become too weak and disintegrate.
Figures suggest that paper and card contribute to nearly one-third of all the household waste collected for recycling. However, that still leaves a large proportion that isn't undergoing the recycling process.
Benefits of paper recycling include:
 |
The reduction of harmful air pollutants by 95%. Since recycled paper doesn't usually undergo a bleaching process, oxygen rather than chlorine is used; therefore less dioxins are released into the atmosphere. | |
|
Recycled paper production uses between 28-70% less energy than the energy levels required to produce virgin paper. | |
|
Paper as it rots in landfills produces methane which is 20% stronger than carbon dioxide. This is a serious contributor to global warming and it's crucial that we find ways to ensure its reduction. |
