Question

What happens to paper when it goes to be recycled?

Answer 1

Most of the cardboard and paper is sent to Australia or Asia for recycling. Some of it ends up as the corrugate inside cardboard, and some of it is mixed with new material to make paper with a 60% recycled content. As a side note, the plastic bags that you put your paper out for recycling in, are also baled in the hope that one day a market will be found for them to also be recycled.

Answer 2

first it gets chopped up then the paper gets mixed with water turning it in to pulp which looks something like oatmeal. some chemicals are mixed in along the way along with new(non recycled) pulp.  It gets run through a paper making machine and you have new paper or cardboard.

Answer 4

Basicly I believe that after it gets seperated from other trash bundled and sent out to be processed into a pulp from there its reprocessed into a paper type product and resold as lower grade paper or the pulp may get dried and molded into egg creates or drink holders

Answer 5

lots of stuff . why don't you punch it in the computer.

Answer 6

First it goes to a recycling plant-where they have people in bunny suits and the recycled materials come through on a conveyer belt so they can remove debris.  (People often put pizza boxes and other contaminated things in their bins.  These have to be removed.)  Then it gets bailed and sent to the various sources such as mills where it is stored, repulped, cleaned, deinked,refined and whatever else is neccesary to turn it into the next product.

So many things are made from recycled paper-- anything from cardboards to coffins.  YES you heard me right...they now have ECO PODS.

Answer 7

for cardboard it gets bailed at the local recycling plant.In Ontario it can be shipped to Iroquois Falls{Abbatibi} in northern Ontario or to a plant in Winnipeg.The bails are cut opened and go on a conveyor that dumps into a large blender grinder{huge food processor}it is mixed into a huge slurry when the material is fine enough it passes through screens and flows onto a belt conveyor were the material is heated and cooked to a paste still on the conveyor it is pressed out and formed into a type of box board to be sent out for further processing it can also be added to virgin pulp to make paper products hence you may see on packaging contains 60% post consumer fibre ie 60% of that paper product is made from recycled paper in Canada we do recycle much of our paper ado not ship it over seas
