What is recycling?

“Reduce, reuse, recycle” is the mantra we often hear every time there's a discussion about recycling. Reducing waste means not only to reduce the volume of waste that goes to the landfills, but it also means decreasing the amount of dangerous chemicals that seep into the soil and pollute the air due to improper waste disposal. Reuse is basically extending the usage of most of the items we have in the house by reusing or donating these items to others in a free recycle group, for example. To complete the cycle, we must do it as part of our lifestyle to purchase and use products made from recycled materials.

(3)Phone books

Every year, new phone books and business directions arrive at your door.

The pages in a phone book are 100% recyclable and are often used to make new phone books.

There are enough phone books created each year to measure 106,700 miles when lined up end to end. This means they would circle around the earth about 4.28 times.

By recycling just 500 books, we could save between 17 and 31 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 463 gallons of oil, 587 pounds of air pollution, 3.06 cubic yards of landfill space and 4,077 kilowatt hours of energy.

Unsolicited Direct Mail

You may think of it as “junk mail”, or you may welcome the flyers, catalogs and coupons that appear in your mailbox. It's important to recycle them.

“Mixed paper” is the term used to define the many kinds of paper products that can be collected and recycled from our daily mail.

Unfortunately, recycle rate for direct mail remains low. Many advertisers are now placing a “Recycle Please” reminder on the direct mail pieces they create.

(1)Office paper

On average, an officer worker generates a pound and a half of waste every day. Almost all of it can be recycled.

Just over 48% of office paper is recovered for recycling today.

High-grade papers, such as white computer paper, bond and letterhead can be turned back into office paper if it's kept separate from other waste paper. It can also be used to produce tissue paper, paperboard, stationery, magazines and other paper products.

Lower-grade papers such as newsprint, coloured paper, file stock are made into cardboard, tissues, newspaper and toilet paper.

Magazines

Did you know that it's perfectly fine to recycle magazines, catalogs and other “glossy” publications?

Magazines are made from paper that's been buffed and coated to achieve a glossy appearance. Next, the paper is covered with a white clay that makes colour photographs look more brilliant.

About 20% of magazines are being recycled today. Recycled magazines are used to make newspapers, tissues, writing paper and paperboard. Recycled paper requires only 60% of the energy used to make new paper.

(2) Newspapers

Did you know the newspaper you read today can be recycled up to 7 times?

The average newspaper today is made of about 30 % recycled fiber.

Recycled newspapers can be made into cereal boxes, egg cartons, pencil barrels, grocery bags, tissue paper and many other products, including new newspapers.

Newspaper is a fine insulator. Using recycled newspapers to produce cellulose is widespread.

Paperboard

Once used mainly for products such as breakfast cereal boxes, paperboard is now being used for many other kinds of packaging.

Recycled paperboard is made from 100 per cent recovered fibre, which may include newspapers, magazines, corrugated boxboard, paperboard folding cartons and telephone books.

One side of the recycled paperboard is usually grey in colour.

Like glossy magazines, recycled paperboard often includes a coating to improve its printing surface and provide protection from fingerprints.
