The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) has released a new video that highlights ways to improve the recycling of paper. The video, “Improving Paper Recycling”, is located at the association’s new webpage, What is Recyclable?
AF&PA says the goal of the educational video, which runs one minute and 36 seconds, and newly unveiled webpage is to promote the increased quantity and quality of paper and paper-based packaging recovered for recycling. The new resources are part of AF&PA’s ongoing effort to increase paper recovery, the association says.
“When using recovered fiber to make new paper products, the quality of materials used is especially important,” says Brian Hawkinson, AF&PA executive director for recovered fiber. “Following the advice in our video and on our webpage improves paper recycling, which in turn helps maximize the amount of paper that can be used to make new products.”
The video encourages people to recycle a wide range of paper and paper-based packaging products and to make sure those products are clean and dry before placing them in the recycling bin.
