Re: The Environment

Recycling paper...

First treated with sodium hydroxide or sodium hydrocarbonate. Then treated with peroxides or hydrosulphites to fully bleach it.
Its often mixed with new paper fibers so often recycled paper isnt 99% recycled.
And the left overs (old ink and weak fibers etc) get put in a landfill, burnt or used as fertiliser (the enviromentally friendly option)
