Awaiting inaugural

Looking toward the future

Recycled paper products available to consumers

By Rebecca Babcock Staff Writer Keeping in tune with the current attitudes, residents of Nappanee are saving their newspapers and hauling them out to the curb the first Monday of each month for the city to pick up. But what happens to those papers after you drop them in a heap on the roadside? According to the Plymouth Recycling Center, after the customer drops off the newspapers, the paper is weighed and handbaled by employees. The center then ships the papers to one of the several paper mills in the area. When the papers reach the mill, the various grades--newspaper, computer paper, etc.-are sorted. Forklifts carry the paper to vats, where warm water, steam and centrifugal force are employed to reduce the paper to an “oatmeal-like” consistency. Dc-inking may take place after this stage. Chemicals are utilized to complete the deinking process. The paper substance then goes through a series of rollers and presses, after which the paper is dried into sheets and cut to designated specifications. Nationwide, only about 35 percent of old newspapers are recycled each year. However, many uses for recycled paper products have been developed and put into practice. “Minimum Impact Paper,” recycled paper that has not been deinked or bleached, is currently being utilized by the Indiana Institute on Recycling, in Terre Haute. According to the Institute’s newsletter, “Most other paper recycling methods use more chemicals and more water, and produce much more waste than the process employed in making this (type) paper.” Although other paper suppliers in the Midwest manufacture minimum irripact paper, Earth Care Paper, Incorporated may have the most economically efficient products.

Nevertheless, individuals who are interested in incorporating recycled products into their daily lives need only look at the bottom of paper bags from the grocery store or certain fast food bags to see that recycled paper products are fast becoming a part of mainstream life. Now, it is the consumer who may make a conscious effort to use the recycled paper products that are manufactured. The next scheduled date for newspaper collection by the City of Nappanee is November 5. A few cannot save the earth alone; so everyone should consider taking advantage of the service offered by the city and recycle Nappanee.
