How Does the 纸 回收 Process Work
You put 你r recycling in the bin. You drop it at the curb or take it to 你r local drop-off. 然后你会想， is my paper actually getting recycled?
是的! 回收d paper is used to make new products such as paper bags, toilet paper and all different kinds of boxes. 例如, the box 你r cereal or toothpaste came in, 面包房装甜甜圈的盒子和可靠的纸板箱送到你家门口.
In fact, about 80% of U.S. 造纸厂使用一些再生纸来制造新的和创新的产品.
Here’s how the process works:
- It begins at any number of locations, including community curbside programs, 下降中心, 学校或办公室. 这就是 你 fill the recycling bin with accepted materials.
- After paper is collected, it goes to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). 这是 loaded on a conveyor belt and contaminants are removed.
- Next, recovered paper is separated and baled. 这是 transported to a paper mill where the recycling process really begins.
- 在造纸厂， 纸包被装入纸浆机，它看起来像一个巨大的搅拌器. 将纸与水和其他成分混合，然后搅拌并分解. Things like tape, labels and staples are screened out.
- 从那里，纤维浆液被筛选以进一步清洗. 当它干燥时，它被形成成卷纸——新回收的纸.

几十年来，投资和改善纸张回收一直是该行业的优先事项. 十大菠菜软件 members are working to advance the circular value chain.
电子竞技赌注的软件的行业在20世纪90年代首次设定了帮助改善纸张回收的目标. The recycling rate has doubled since that time.
现在,电子竞技赌注的软件已经 设定一个目标，增加二次材料的使用，比如再生纸 in new paper products to 50% by 2030.
这意味着该行业将在生产中使用更多的再生纸! This goal is part of our Better Practices, Better Planet 2030: Sustainable Products for a Sustainable Future initiative.
We have an ownership stake in the recycling system. 十大菠菜软件会员在全国拥有并运营着100多个材料回收设施. That’s where 你r recyclables are sorted and processed.
Our industry is investing in manufacturing infrastructure. Nearly $7 billion in investments, planned or announced (2019-2025), will use more than 9 million tons of recycled fiber.
Investments go further than our mills. 电子竞技赌注的软件还与利益相关者合作开展纸张回收教育.

Adding Technology to Process More 回收d Fiber
新印第公司改进了其位于加州安大略省工厂的再制浆系统. 复浆是回收过程中的一个步骤，你的旧纸板箱, 邮件和纸袋被扔进一个巨大的搅拌机里，这样它们就可以变成新的东西.
新印迪增加了技术来帮助进一步过滤污染物. The improvements led to:
- 在不牺牲质量的情况下，在所有产品中使用混合纸
- 5,500 tons less waste leaving the mill
- 一万吨混合纸原本会被送到垃圾填埋场重新制浆

合作宣传披萨盒是可回收的，造纸厂需要披萨盒
韦斯特罗克与达美乐披萨和其他行业合作伙伴合作 share the good news that pizza boxes are recyclable.
The project took a four-prong approach:
- Document that paper mills want to recycle used pizza boxes
- Study the impact of grease and cheese on recycling
- Assess access to pizza box recycling
- 建立一个公共教育门户网站，宣传披萨盒是可回收的.
An estimated 3 billion pizzas are consumed in the U.S. 每年. 大约有60万吨潜在的纤维可以转化为新的东西. 学习 more about this award-winning project and how it’s helping to capture more fiber for recycling.
