Summary
The production and use of recycled fibre-containing newsprint became an absolute necessitybecause of economical (energy savings) and ecological (lack of landfill space) reasons. After some hesitant starts with 30% recycled content, the gcod results encouraged papermakers to go up to 70-80%. The newest mills built in Central Europe will even use 100% recycled fibres as raw material to make newsprint. The waste paper used for deinking and making newsprint is a mixture of old newspapers and magazines and, when correctly collected and sorted, enables the manufacture of a good quality product.
