Paper Paper everywhere…

Paper products & everyday life

>This post is kind courtesy of paperrecycles.org

Many of us take for granted that paper allows us not only to enjoy our lives but also to go about our daily routines with greater efficiency.

From the thinnest tissue, to the most absorbent diaper, to the toughest corrugated box, there are almost as many different kinds of paper as there are uses for it.

Most of us begin our mornings by enjoying the comforts of paper products – from facial tissue and paper towels, to the morning newspaper, to the carton that holds your orange juice, and the paperboard packaging that holds your breakfast cereal.

Our children benefit from paper each school day from classroom drawings and notebook paper to text books that students learn from.

At work, office papers help us communicate. Even in this digital age, and despite talk about the “paperless office,” office papers are essential for copiers, laser printers, brochures, notepads, and other uses. And since digital documents can be deleted, there’s nothing like having a back-up on paper.

Wherever we go, paper is there to help at every turn. It’s the bags that hold your groceries or latest clothing purchase. It’s the cards, letters and packages you receive, the cup that holds your coffee, and the album that holds your memories.

Even while we sleep, paper is still hard at work providing a host of innovative paper products that help hospitals deliver cleaner, better patient care and protect healthcare personnel. Paper is at work in thousands of industrial and manufacturing applications helping keep the air clean, and providing protective apparel and innovative packaging.

When you consider the tremendous benefit of paper, it’s clear that we must all continue to work together by recycling used paper.

Recycling is easy to do and it’s good for business and the environment….and we at Jaagruti™ Waste Paper Recycling Services can help recycle your waste paper at no cost, if your organisation is based out of Delhi and NCR.

So next time you read the paper, open your mail, clean out your files, or empty a box, don’t put that paper and paperboard packaging in the trash. Complete the circle and recycle it.

Complete the circle by recycling your waste paper through us at ‘Jaagruti Waste Paper Recycling Services’

How to reduce and reuse paper?

Next time you waste paper, you may do well to remember that paper doesn’t grow on trees! 

But, about 17-22 full grown trees are cut to make 1 tonne of paper.

Paper usage is inevitable, we understand that because we also use paper, BUT you can help the environment by reusing paper. Reuse minimizes the amount of trash you produce and conserves precious natural resources.

Many everyday paper items can be reused and kept out of landfills:

  • Replace using tissue papers with handkerchiefs, why waste paper made out of trees, when you can use a piece of cloth that can be washed over and over again and reused..Think?
  • Save paper that has print on only one side. This paper can be reused in a variety of ways: for writing lists or notes, as drawing or coloring paper for children, for home printing that doesn’t need to be professional.
  • Save toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls. These can be used for school or home art projects. They can also be used for starting seeds.
  • Save tissue wrapping paper. It can be reused for wrapping another gift, as packing material, or for protecting Christmas ornaments for storage.
  • Save junk mail. It can be used to make lists, as scratch paper, for a child’s drawing.
  • Replace paper bags with cloth bags while you go shopping.

If you have some paper left that hasn’t been reused through some method above or has been used and re-used to the hilt and can’t be used or re-used anymore, don’t throw it away!

Recycle it and all your organisation’s waste paper by contacting us at ‘Jaagruti™ Waste Paper Recycling Services‘.

We do it for free and we do it to save many a tree!

Recycled Paper vs. Virgin Paper- which is better and why?

In the video below, virgin paper (paper made from wood-pulp) is being compared to recycled paper, in a point-by-point manner thereby showing which one is better for our environment and why so?

After watching this video you would have been able to analyse that recycled paper uses less energy thereby producing less carbon emissions , making it much more environmentally friendly.

So, which one would you chose for your work? Recycled Paper or Virgin Wood-based paper? The choice is now entirely yours!

Contact us at ‘Jaagruti’ if you/your organisation wants to do either of the following:

  • Recycle your organisation’s waste paper.
  • Or if you want to replace/supplement your existing paper stationery at work with 100% Recycled White Elemental Chlorine Free Paper stationery products.

Paper – how it’s recycled?

We use paper every day and as a nation 11.5 to 12.5 million tonnes is used each year,as per statistics made available by Indian Agro and Recycled Paper Mills Association (IARPMA) in India. But in India, with the bulk of waste management budget being allocated to transportation and collection, there is no money left to grade waste in different categories and reprocess/recycle it efficiently.

We at ‘Jaagruti‘ help organisations in India recycle their waste paper effectively by grading it at our recycling centres, before getting the same processed at mills for recycling.

To know how, we at Jaagruti can help you organisation in India do this, contact us.

Now, let us tell you what happens at a Recycling Plant:

At the paper mill it is pulped in a tank containing chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, caustic soda, soap and water which separate out the various fibres.

These fibres are then screened to remove various bits of debris such as paper clips, staples, sticky tape and plastic.

In a floatation tank the fibres are cleaned and deinked several times and as a result the fibres get whiter and whiter. Whitening agents are added at this stage and the pulp, which is 99% water and 1% fibre is then pumped onto a paper machine.

It is then passed over a vibrating machine or through rollers which remove most of the water. The water is sent back to the beginning of the process, the remaining material now contains half fibre and half water.

The sheets are then passed through a drying section on heated rollers where the temperature reaches 130 degrees and water is reduced by 5%. The process makes the paper whiter, smoother and more useable.

The paper is then dried and then run through a machine that acts like an ironing board and then wound into huge rolls that weigh up to 30 tonnes.

The paper is then tested to make sure it reaches the correct standard and quality for strength, gloss and brightness.

These rolls are then divided into smaller reels or sheets, packed and stored before despatching to printers.

The quality of paper produced through our recycled paper is comparable to that made from virgin raw material.
