European companies involved in recycling waste paper, including old salvaged books and other types of paper raw materials, try to use modern technologies. However, during the work, features associated with the direct production process are often revealed. Thus, one of the UK recyclers made an important statement. It turns out that cardboard, if it is exposed to moisture, so to speak, magnetizes plastic and various pollutants. As a result, it is quite difficult to separate cardboard waste paper from what it has combined with.
The cause for concern was the fact that this autumn there was a lot of precipitation in England. The rain damaged cardboard waste. And in the process of working with wet cardboard, the recycler discovered a very unpleasant feature that cardboard waste received as a result of contact with rain. For many recyclers, this is very important information. However, it should be noted that in this case, the weather is not the only culprit. It is necessary to carefully sort the waste. Waste paper should not be stored together with other waste. That is, it must be separated from other waste immediately upon arrival at collection points. As a result, it will be possible to eliminate the problem that European recyclers have encountered.
