Open in App
Solution

Dear Student

Paper is recycled in industries.

There are several steps which are involved in recycling of paper, such as:

Pulping: Paper that has to be recycled is soaked in the huge pulpers, which contain water and chemicals.
Pulp screening and cleaning: The pulp is forcibly passed through the hollow of various sizes so as to remove small contaminants
Deinking: It is the step which involves removing the ink or sticky materials such as glue from the paper fibers of the waste paper.
Refining and bleaching: the pulp is beaten to make the recycled fibers swell. If white recycled paper is to be produced, the pulp would need to be bleached with hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide, etc.
Paper making: the cleaned up pulp is ready to be made into recycled paper.
