The diagram illustrates the process of producing recycled paper from used paper.
Overall, the process converts waste paper into a usable product through multiple stages, beginning with the collection and transportation of used paper and ending with the production of recycled paper. This process involves important steps, including pulping, filtering, cleaning and drying the paper before the finished product is distributed.
In the initial stage, used paper is conveyed by a conveyor belt to a pulping machine, where it is mixed with water and chemicals to form pulp. This resulting pulp then undergoes a filtering process. Afterwards, it is transferred into a container, where water, soap and air are combined with it to remove impurities, while ink is added to give it a specific colour.
Following this, the mixture is subsequently transported to a cleaning machine, where it is rinsed and cleaned with water and chemicals once more. In the final stage, the purified substance is transferred onto a conveyer belt, which carries it through heated rollers to remove excess water. The recycled paper is then produced.
