Description
This process involves recycling white waste paper through collection, cleaning, and sorting to remove lower-quality portions. The remaining paper is shredded and soaked, then blended into a pulp using an electric mixer. The pulp is poured into molds and pressed and dried to form paper. The paper is then calendared, perforated, folded, and cut to produce recycled tissue paper.
Energy from electricity powers the shredding and baling equipment during the recycling process. Fresh water is required as input for the production process, which generates emissions of CODcr, BOD5, AOX, nitrogen, phosphorus, and wastewater, along with sludge and general solid waste.
This dataset applies to the process of producing recycled tissue paper from white waste paper.
Activity Description
