The History of Paper & Recycling
Paper was first invented in "Lei-Yang" by
China, approximately 2000 years ago. Before then, they
used pictures & symbols etched on clay tablets,
stone and cave walls. About 300 years later, Muslims
learned the secret of paper when they captured a Chinese
paper mill. Later, when Muslims invaded Europe they
brought this secret with them. First mill was built
in Spain and soon all across Europe. Over the next few
centuries, paper was used for printing important books,
bibles and legal documents. Chinese used method of shredding
old rags and clothes into individual fibers to make
paper. As the demand grew, mills changed to using the
fiber from TREE's instead. Today most trees used to
make paper are from "WORKING FOREST" and harvested
like a crop- specially for making paper. Paper mills
also use recycled paper as well as wood chips and sawdust
left over from lumber operations.
RECYCLING has always been a part of papermaking. When
you recycle your paper, paper mills will use it to make
new notebook paper, grocery bags, envelopes, newspapers,
magazines, cartons, and other paper products

Burger Boxes
Burger boxes are made of polystyrene, which
is a form plastic, and it is found all around us. Items
made from polystyrene include; foam meat trays, foam
and clear clamshell containers, plates, packaging, audio
cassette, CD cases, disposable cutlery and so on. Polystyrene
can be RECYCLED. And today, millions of pellets of recycled
polystyrene are sold and used for manufacturing many
useful products. Like, rulers, office accessories and
so on. It takes only 40 minutes to take a coffee cup
to recycle it into tiny pellets, which are used to make
new products.

Aluminium Containers
Aluminium became commercially available more than a
century ago and has been in use since. It can be economically
recycled. As a used material, it retains a positive
monetary value. The metal remains substantially in tact
in terms of volume and for one twentieth of its original
extraction cost can be remelted to become new metal
ready for its next task. For example: the beverage cans
represent clear evidence that aluminium packaging material
can be recycled with outstanding success. |
Polystyrene does not contain CFC's and can be recycled
over and over again. |

Plastic
Plastic is a synthetic (man-made) product, made from
oil. Oil is extracted from deep underground, and used
in all sorts of ways, including production of plastic.
If we recycle plastic, we can reduce our demand for
more oil to be extracted.
