• B. Pre-consumer waste
• C. Post-consumer waste
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Recycling is the process of conversion of waste into the usable form through physical and chemical change. There are three categories of paper that can be used as feedstocks for making the recycled paper: mill broke, pre-consumer waste and post-consumer waste. Mill broke is paper trimmings and another paper scrap from the manufacture of paper and is recycled internally in a paper mill. Pre-consumer waste is the material which left the paper mill but was discarded before it was ready for consumer use. Post-consumer waste is material discarded after consumer use such as old corrugated containers (OCC), old magazines and newspapers etc

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'
