Paper recycling
The paper is a material support of the written information that produces
strong negative impacts particularly in terms of production.
In fact, although the raw material can be considered renewable - wood,
from trees - their production usually leads to extensive monocultures of
exotic species - like eucalyptus in Portugal, and various conifers in much of
Europe – which result in the disappearance of almost all the native fauna
and flora.
This effect is related not only to the species used but also to the
system of cultivation: dense planting, short revolution and washing of poor
mountain soils.
Paper recycling is the reprocessing of non-functional role to produce
recycled paper.
This procedure allows you to retrieve the old role of the
cellulose fibers and incorporate them in the manufacture of new paper.
It is
not a waste-free process, but virgin pulp production is not either, and so
always minimize the problems associated with the production of raw
materials and
