Living Green

Good morning,

Several readers wrote in asking about the fact in yesterday’s
issue about it being impossible to recycle paper indefinitely.

It is true. Paper can only be recycled 4-6 times, as the
fibers get shorter and weaker each time. Some virgin pulp must
be introduced into the process to maintain the strength and
quality of the fiber, so no matter how much we recycle we will
never completely eradicate the need for virgin fiber. However,
there are other benefits.

Please scroll down for more.

Thanks for reading,

Your Living Green editor

* Producing recycled paper involves between 28 - 70 percent
less energy consumption than virgin paper and uses less
water. This is because most of the energy used in paper-
making is the pulping needed to turn wood into paper.

* Recycled paper produces fewer polluting emissions to air
(95 percent of air pollution) and water. Recycled paper is
not usually re-bleached and where it is, oxygen rather than
chlorine is frequently used. This reduces the amount of
dioxins which are released into the environment as a by-
product of the chlorine bleaching processes.
