Definitions in Paper Recycling Present Problems

By: Martha Franklin

Paper companies in the United States will be recycling 40 percent of their material, if they comply with the commitments they have made. However, a president of a recycled paper sales company points out that the paper industry considers mill scrap, which had never been meant for public consumption, recycled paper.

It is no secret that this includes paper spoiled in the mill and in production. (like the scraps left after envelopes' manufacturing) in figures on recycling, yet other plants (the production of newspapers, magazines and similar distributions) in addition "recycle" since de-inking tools were designed, but is it reported in the same proportions? The definition of recycling has become a major concern, as manufacturers become increasing concerned about appearing environmentally responsible, due to increased regulation.

The word "recycling" usually conjures up images of stacks of brown newspapers and piles of empty aluminum cans. It is, however, quite a bit more detailed when discussing paper making. Paper to be recycled included printing overruns, cuttings from processing, and excesses, which include those spoiled in the mill.

"Recycled" paper has never been clearly defined by many government agencies in various government programs designed to encourage purchase of recycled paper. There appears to be no standard for what constitutes recycled paper, some say it is any paper made solely from mill waste while others rely on a percentage of the fiber content that has had ink removed from it.

The target of 40% can be reached very easily by manufacturers when mill waste and industrial cuttings are counted as recycled paper. An additional problem is that of the collection and recycling of paper used in homes and offices. Instead of dumping the waste in landfills, the industry must recycle.
