Profits for our company • When you think of the potential benefits of recycling, your first thought is probably the environmental benefits, but believe it or not, recycling has its economical benefits, too. • Recycling programs could cost less than picking up garbage, landfiling, and incinerating. • The more people that recycle and the more that is recycled, the cheaper it gets. • Recycling can help you save money, especially if you live in a community that has a pay-as-you through program implemented. • Recycling programs could save to the community money because there are more options to make the program more cost-effective, such as recycling rates, implementing pay-as-you-throw programs, and waste management contracts. • More jobs are created and gross annual sales could increase by implementing a good recycling program. Companies could save money through voluntary recycling programs.

How paper is recycled The paper is taken to a recycling plant where it is separated into types and grades. The separated paper is then washed with soapy water to remove inks, plastic film, staples and glue. The paper is put into a large holder where it is mixed with water to create ‘slurry’. Paper is taken from the bin and deposited in a large recycling container along with paper from other recycling bins. By adding different materials to the slurry, different paper products can be created, such as cardboard, newsprints or office paper. The slurry is spread using large rollers into large thin sheets. The paper is left to dry, and then it is rolled up ready to be cut and sent back to the shops.
