Paper Waste

Paper recycling is crucial for businesses to both safeguard the environment and cut costs. Nearly all paper can be recycled. If your company generates minimal paper waste, you can dispose of it through your dry mixed recycling. However, if your business produces a significant amount of paper waste, it’s advisable to have dedicated paper bins for storage and removal.

What Our Customers Say About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recycle tissue paper?

No, tissue paper can’t usually be recycled because it’s made from short fibers. These fibers give it a thin texture but result in low-quality pulp when recycled, which can’t be used to make new paper. However, most tissue paper and tissues are already made from recycled paper, making them somewhat sustainable.

Can you recycle shredded paper in the UK?

Shredded paper can be recycled in the UK, but it depends on the recycling facility. Normally, shredded paper can’t be mixed with regular paper waste because shredding weakens it, causing the fibers to become too short for high-quality recycled paper. Shredded paper should be recycled separately. Some local authorities and recycling plants collect and recycle shredded paper separately, and if the quality is good enough, it can be turned into low-grade paper towels, tissues, and toilet paper. Businesses can also arrange separate collection of shredded paper for recycling.

Can you recycle post-it notes?

Yes, you can recycle post-it notes just like any other paper. Simply place used post-it notes in your paper recycling bin, and they will be taken to a recycling facility. Even though they contain a small amount of adhesive, this adhesive is removed during the cleaning process, making them safe and efficient to recycle.

What can paper be recycled into?

Paper for recycling can be transformed into various new paper and cardboard products for consumers and businesses. Some of these paper products can be recycled multiple times, while others may have a limited lifespan. Paper can be recycled into:

  • Cardboard
  • Brown parcel paper

  • Greetings cards and wrapping paper
  • Printer and photocopier paper
