How it is made
Recovered paper is graded, de-inked and hydro-pulped, cleaned and refined, then formed, pressed and dried on automated, PLC-controlled paper machines. Reels are finished and cut to the order.
Limitations
Recycled fibre shortens each time it is reused, so strength-critical grades may need a share of long-fibre input. We do not claim paper can be recycled indefinitely.
