- Used cardboard is picked up from local recycling centres, as well as from shops, factories and offices.
- All the cardboard is sent to a waste paper merchant where it is made into large bales, ready for transportation to the paper mill.
- At the paper mill, a fork lift truck lifts the bales onto a conveyor, where it is taken into the pulper.
- In the pulper, water and chemicals are added to make a soggy, mushy pulp. The pulp is cleaned, de-inked and then dried into flat rolls of paper.
- The large rolls of new recycled paper are cut into smaller size rolls for the customers who will make the different papers into cardboard
for new boxes, containers and packaging.
