What? Why?
• Convert wastes into reusable material.
• Recycling is a form of reuse that requires
changing or reprocessing an item or
natural resource.
• Recycling helps extend the life and
usefulness of something that has already
served its initial purpose by producing
something that is useable.

Sourcing, Collection and
Transportation
…converting waste to wealth
Contd…
• You may take your sorted paper to a local
recycling center or recycling bin. Often, a
paper stock dealer or recycling center will
collect recovered paper from your home or
office.
• At the recycling center, the collected paper
is wrapped in tight bales and transported
to a paper mill, where it will be recycled
into new products.
…converting waste to wealth
Storage
…converting waste to wealth
Contd..
• Paper mill workers unload the recovered paper
and put it into warehouses, where it is stored
until needed.
• The various paper grades, such as newspapers,
newsprints, calendars, magazines, cuts from
printing press etc. are kept separate, because
the paper mill uses different grades of recovered
paper to make different types of recycled paper
products.
• When the paper mill is ready to use the paper,
forklifts move the paper from the warehouse to
large conveyors.
…converting waste to wealth
Repulping and Screening
…converting waste to wealth
Contd…
• The paper moves by conveyor to a pulper, which
contains water and chemicals.
• The pulper chops the recovered paper into small
pieces. Heating/agitation by impellers breaks the
paper down more quickly into fibers slurries.
• Eventually, the old paper turns into a mushy
mixture called pulp.
…converting waste to wealth
Contd…
• The pulp is forced through screens
containing holes and slots of various
shapes and sizes. The screens remove
small contaminants such as bits of
plastics, coarse sands, pins, glasses and
other contaminants. This process is called
screening.
…converting waste to wealth
Cleaning
…converting waste to wealth
Cleaning
• Mills also clean pulp by spinning it around in
large high-density cleaners. Heavy
contaminants like office pins, coarse sands are
thrown to the outside of the cone and fall
through the bottom of the cylinder through
centrifugal force into rejects boxes and are
removed.
…converting waste to wealth
Deinking
…converting waste to wealth
Contd..
• Sometimes the pulp must undergo a “pulp
laundering” operation called deinking (de-
inking) to remove printing ink and “stickies”
(sticky materials like glue residue and
adhesives).
• Papermakers often use a combination of two
deinking processes. Small particles of ink are
rinsed from the pulp with water in a process
called washing. Larger particles and stickies
are removed with air bubbles in another
process called flotation.
…converting waste to wealth
Refining, Bleaching and Colour
Stripping
…converting waste to wealth
Contd..
• During refining, the pulp is beaten to make the
recycled fibers swell, making them ideal for
papermaking. If the pulp contains any large bundles of
fibers, refining separates them into individual fibers.
• If the recovered paper is coloured, colour stripping
chemicals remove the dyes from the paper.
• Then, if white recycled paper is being made, the pulp
may need to be bleached with hydrogen peroxide,
chlorine dioxide, or oxygen to make it whiter and
brighter.
• If brown recycled paper is being made, such as that
used for industrial paper towels, the pulp does not
need to be bleached.

Paper making
Forming, Pressing & Drying
…converting waste to wealth
• The pulp is mixed with water and chemicals to make it
99.5% water.
• This watery pulp mixture enters the headbox, a giant
metal box at the beginning of the paper machine, and
then is sprayed in a continuous wide jet onto a huge flat
wire screen which is moving very quickly through the
paper machine.
• The weight form sheet on the wire is transferred across
an open draw to a moving press felt that carries the
sheet into the press section.
• Then the pickup effect the transfer of the formed sheet
from the wire to felt.
…converting waste to wealth
• Here, a smooth, weight, dense felt is pressed
against the formed sheet on the wire and the
sheet transfers to the felt.
• The pickup process is headed by the fact that
the web of fibres is attracted to the fine level
capillary structure of the felt in preference to that
of the wire.
• Once the sheet has been picked up, it remained
attached to the felt because of the capillary force
and the water film strength that exist between
the sheet and the felt.
…converting waste to wealth
Dryer Section
• Because of the relatively high cost of removal of
water by dryer, as compare with removal of
water by mechanical means; it is of great
economic importance that the sheet should be
as dry as possible when it enters the dryers
(Yankee).
• Here, drying is carried out by a cast iron steam
heated cylinder. The sheet is passed round the
cylinder and held in intimate contact with the
heated surfaces by means of dryer felt.
• Finally, the finished paper is wound into a giant
roll and removed from the paper machine.
…converting waste to wealth
• Steam pressure required for drying the
sheet is supplied by steam boiler and
depends on the weight per unit area of
paper (grammage), and then the speed of
the machine and the efficiency of the
ventilating system.
• The Yankee cylinder is a large drying
cylinder that has a highly polished surface
against which the sheet is pressed by the
press roll coated felt.
