WSR Recycling

Paper Recycling Services

In the majority of cases cardboard no longer has a need to be disposed of without recycling. In the UK we consume over 8 million tons of cardboard per year. Everyone can help by using cardboard products that display the ‘recycled cardboard’ logo. This is a series of arrows at right-angles, often with a percentage in the middle – this percentage says how much of the component is recycled, often to a 50/50 ratio of new cardboard to recycled fibres.

Also cardboard is a good component to use in the developing area of waste to energy: creating fuels and power from waste products. It releases twice as much heat per pound of waste, compared to other sources, doesn’t release toxic poisons, and its only by-product is ash.

At WSR Recycling we operate to EU standards, giving you peace of mind that you are dealing with a highly professional service provider.

Almost five million tonnes of waste paper are still sent to landfill or incineration each year. There are different sources of waste fibre used as a source material for manufacturing recycled paper.

In the UK wood pulp is the most common source material for the manufacture of VIRGIN PAPER, i.e. paper which has no recycled content.

By recycling your cardboard and paper, you will be contributing to a better and safer environment and diverting material away from landfill, which is no longer a viable option.
