The image shows the process through which paper is recycled.
Overall, the procedure consists of four main stages: beginning with the production of pulp from used paper, followed by filtering and cleaning the material, and culminating in the manufacture of recycled paper. Notably, the process is a complex one, requiring machine use.
Paper preparation commences with making pulp. Used paper is first collected and transported via a conveyor belt into a container, where it is mixed with water and chemicals to create the unfiltered pulp mixture. Next, this unfiltered pulp enters the filtering stage. It passes through a special tank to remove larger unwanted particles, which transforms it into filtered pulp.
Subsequently, the mixture undergoes a cleaning process. In this stage, water, soap, and air are added to separate the ink from the clean pulp. Once cleaned, the pulp is mixed with water and chemicals once again. In the final stage, the wet sheets pass through heated rollers to squeeze out excess water and dry the material. After this processing, the recycled paper is rolled into massive cylinders, and it is ready for distribution and use.
