Human beings are making garbage every day, especially waste paper. But you know, garbage is a kind of resource that is put in the wrong place. In recent years, countries around the world attach great importance to making full use of waste paper and exploring many ways to achieve it in order to save paper resources and prevent the environment from being polluted. In the following part, we’ll introduce what waste paper can be used for.
On the one hand, it can be used to manufacture recycled paper.
Waste paper can not only be used for making recycled paper which is the most common use but also for recycled newsprint. There is a French paper company said to have successfully developed a new process for newsprint regeneration.
On the other hand, waste paper can be used to make household appliances? Can it really be manufactured household goods? Yes, you are right. After being compressed, waste paper can be made into cardboard with a certain shape, then this cardboard is assembled in the way just like building blocks, all kinds of furniture are produced. Is it amazing? Paper furniture is not only light in weight but convenient to assemble and dismantle as well. Besides, paper furniture can also help you save time and energy, and the price is low. If you are bored of it or you don’t need it anymore, don’t just throw it, because it can be recycled and reused, which is a good way to save resources and protect the ecological environment.
In addition, those paper which is not good enough to be made recycled paper and household appliances can be used to generate electricity too. This is probably the most miserable future of waste paper, and once they are treated in this way, it means that there is no other role it can play except being waste. Waste paper is pressed into solid fuel by a drying compressor, which can burn in a pressure boiler. The steam above 2.5Mpa generated during burning can push the steam turbine generator to generate power. And the valve gas can be used for heating. Burning solid waste paper l emits 20% less carbon dioxide than burning coal. Through burning itself, the waste paper also contributes its mite to the environment.
Of course, besides the three common use of waste paper, waste paper can be rich fertilizer to improve soil quality. After being processed, it can serve as forage for cattle and sheep, etc. According to a survey, if made full use, one ton of recycled waste paper can make 800 kilograms of good paper, which means protecting 17 trees avoid and 3 cubic meters of landfill space, saving 240 kilograms of soda, as well as reducing the pollution emissions of paper by 75%. Remember that each piece of paper can be recycled at least twice. However, the current situation of recycled waste paper in China is not good for the recycled rate is only 20-30%, which is equivalent to the loss of 6 million tons of waste paper every year or 1 to 3 million mu of forest resources are wasted.
