PAPER & CARDBOARD

The recycling of paper and cardboard is of the greatest economic and ecological importance, because the more paper that is recycled, the less freshly cut wood is required for papermaking.

Uncontaminated paper and cardboard can be remade into new ones, and contaminated ones can be used as fuel for power generation or heating, and made into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and solid recovered fuel (SRF). Using SRF/RDF to replace fossil fuels can reduce CO2 emissions and benefit from CO2 emissions credit trading activities, because the CO2 emissions of SRF/RDF are much lower than that of fossil fuels.
