The illustration depicts the procedure of manufacturing recycled paper from used one.
Overall, there are four main stages in the sequence, beginning with making pulp from used papers, followed by the conversion of initial paper into filtered and cleaned one, and ending with paper preparation that is ready for sale. Notably, this process is capital-intensive despite using one main material.
The first main steps involve the process of how pulp is made. Initially, wasted paper is collected and stored in specialised containers, which are then in turn transferred by conveyor belt. Subsequently, the paper undergoes a water chemical process, where it is thrown and routed through a pipe to reach its filtered consistency. Following this, the mixture is washed thoroughly with water, soap, and ink added to remove any dirt, ready for the next stage.
The remaining steps focus on paper preparation. Once cleaned, the blend is then washed even more carefully with additional water and other chemical substances. After this, the blend continues to be routed through another pipe, which then enters a new conveyor belt to be rolled at heat using a specialised heat roller. Finally, the newly-made clean paper sheet is wrapped into a roll of recycled paper, which is ready for sale and daily usage.
