Question

Explain one way of recycling of waste paper.

Answer 1

One way of recycle the waste paper is given below:

1) Collect old used notebooks, newspapers, magazines, envelopes and other waste papers.

2) Tear these items into small pieces of identical sizes and put them in a bucket containing water.

3) Keep the pieces submerged in water for one or two days.

4) Make thick paste of wet paper by pounding it. Spread the waste paste on the wire mesh fixed to the frame.

5) Pat the layer of paste gently to make the layer of the paste as uniform as possible.

6) Spread an old cloth or a sheet of newspaper on the paste to soak up the excess water.

7) Remove the paste layer from the frame and spread it on a sheet of newspaper in the sun and add some weight on the corners to avoid curl up.

8) Decorate the paper by adding food colours, dried leaves, flower petals or pieces of coloured paper in the paste, if required.
