Definitions in Paper Recycling Present Difficulties

Paper companies in the United States will be recycling 40 percent of their material, if they comply with the commitments they have made. However, a president of a recycled paper sales company points out that the paper industry considers mill scrap, which had never been meant for public consumption, recycled paper.

Inclusion of paper wasted in mill and forming operations has been admitted by the industry. (like debris from the envelope making process) many other mills, in going green statistics. (the production of newspapers, magazines and similar distributions) in addition "recycle" since de-inking tools were designed, but is it reported in the same proportions? Government regulators have warned manufacturers about misrepresentation of environmentatl effects, but the definition of recycling is the next big hurdle for safeguarding the environment.

Recycling usually brings to mind old cans or newspapers. It is, however, quite a bit more detailed when discussing paper making. Many excess materials go into recycling, including mill spoilage, printing overruns, and excess materials from processing.

"Recycled" paper has never been clearly defined by many government agencies in various government programs designed to encourage purchase of recycled paper. There appears to be no standard for what constitutes recycled paper, some say it is any paper made solely from mill waste while others rely on a percentage of the fiber content that has had ink removed from it.

The 40 percent goal can be easily achieved if mill waste and industrial cuttings are allowed to be included in the category. This, however, does not address the issue of recycling office and household paper. Instead of dumping the waste in landfills, the industry must recycle.
