Paper is a commodity that many people cannot live without and tons of it is manufactured year in and year out. Sad to say, many paper wastes are also generated on a regular basis. If they are left in landfills, they will produce methane and ozone layer depletion will take place afterwards. Putting the said factors into consideration, it can be said that the seemingly harmless commodity can create chaos if not treated properly. It is a good thing that many manufacturers also practice paper recycling so as reduce the environmental damages that may develop along the way. What is Paper Recycling?
