Paper is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable
resource ; trees, Unlike minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, trees are
replaceable. Paper is also biodegradable, so it does not pose as much threat to the
environment when it is discarded. While 45 out of every 100 tonnes of wood fibre used
to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes directly from virgin
fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards this is a good performance
since the world wide average is 33 percent waste paper. Governments have encouraged
waste paper collection and sorting schemes and the same time, the paper industry has
responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for even
greater utilization of used fibre. Asa result, industry's use of recycled fibres in expected
to increase of twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years. Already, waste
paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology
required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in
newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community
must also contribute. We need to accept a change in the quantity of paper products ;
for example stationery may be less white and of a rougher texture. There also needs to
be support from the community for waste paper collection programmes. Not only do
we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into
different types and sorted from contaminates such as staples, paper clips, string and
other miscellaneous items. There are technical limitations to the amount of paper which
can be recycled and some paper products cannot be collected for re-use. These include
paper in the form of books and permanent records, photographic paper and paper
which is badly contaminated. The four most common sources of paper for recycling
are factories and retail stores which gather large amounts of packing material in which
goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business documents and
computer outputs, paper converters and printers and lastly households which discard
newspapers and packing material. The paper manufacturer pays a price for the paper
and may also incur the collection cost. One collected, the paper has to be sorted by
hand by people trained to recognize various types of paper. This is necessary because
some types of paper can only be made from particular kinds of recycled fibre. The
