Jeffrey Shaw   90 #97 Posted July 18, 2018 It does not matter that much as most of the paper produced is taken from sustainable tree sources that are grown specifically for paper. ---------- Post added 16-07-2018 at 19:24 ----------   But that is just about reduced energy consumption which gives a false picture. What also needs to be taken into account is the energy used in transportation and the pollution that causes. The cost of neutralising the effects caused by using caustic alkaline chemicals and the main problem.. that this can only be done a limited amount of times before it gets burnt anyway. Despite the fact that some recycling companies also get EU funds for recycling, at each stage the cost rises as profits are made. The first cost is it needs collecting, the second is it needs sorting, the third is it needs transporting to a central collection and then it costs to transports it to the paper processing plant. That is also similar to what happens to the other recycled waste.  Having a local incinerator that burns the paper should make it much more, efficient financially and energy wise. Yes. To transport Sheffield's waste paper by road all the way to (I think) Northampton, in lorries, does not seem all that ecological.
