After collection, paper and cardboard get sorted manually and by sorting machines to separate any contaminants. Sorted items are bundled into bales and sent to a manufacturing facility for use in creating new products.
Bales of paper and cardboard are pulped in a large vat of water to remove any plastic and glue. Inks get extracted before the pulp is dried and ironed under large rollers to remove excess moisture. The rollers flatten recycled paper to create new paper and cardboard.
