The Lifecycle of Recycled Paper

February 6, 2017

Paper products surround us throughout our days, and we may not think about what happens to paper after it is tossed in the recycling bin. In this video, you will take a look at some amazing recycling facts about paper. In the past 26 years, the United States alone has recycled 1 billion tons of paper. When you purchase recycling bins in Atlanta, you can rest assured that your waste management company will send your paper goods to the correct recycling facility.

A recycling company will bring your paper waste to a mill for processing. At the mill, the paper will be shredded into a product that is known as pulp. Next, this pulp will be sent to the recycling center so that it can be transformed into new paper items. When you purchase a paper item, chances are that it has been manufactured from recycled consumer waste.
