PAPER RECYCLING A Paper 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 so it does not pose as much threat to the environment when it is discarded. While 45 out of every 100 tonnes 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 per cent waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result industry s use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years.
