65、per is different from other waste produce because it comes from a sustainable resource: trees. Unlike the minerals and oil used to make plastics and metals, trees are replaceable. Paper is also biodegradable (可降解的), so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded. While 45
66、 out of every 100 tons of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes directly from virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 percent waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste
67、 paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time , the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that has paved the way for even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result, industrys use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin
68、fibre over the coming years.Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contr

70、s to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants（污染物），string and other items. The four most common sources of paper for recycling are factories and retail stores which gather larger amounts of packaging material in which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted busine

The sorted paper then has to be repulped（再打浆）or mixed with w

This mixture is called stock and may contain a wide variety of contaminating materials, particularly if it is made from mixed waste paper which has had little sorting. Various machinery is used to remove other materials from the stock. After passing t
73、hrough the repulping process, the fibres from printed waste paper are grey in color because the printing ink has soaked into individual fibres. This recycled material can only be used in products where the grey color does not matter, such as cardboard boxes but if the grey color is not acceptable, t
74、he fibres must be de-inked. This involves adding chemicals , water-hardening agents , frothing agents and bleaching agents.
