Step 3: Shredding and Pulping
• After the paper has been sorted and checked for
contaminants, it is baled together and sent to a paper
mill
• At the paper mill, paper is shredded down into small
scrapes
• Large amount of water and chemicals, like hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and
many more are added to the shreds

Step 4: De-Inking
• Large contaminants will be removed
• The pulp is put into a large floatation tank
with more chemicals and air bubbles
• Chemicals and air bubbles help remove dyes
and inks from the pulp,enhancing the
whiteness of he pulp
• Dyes can be added during this process to
create colored paper 4
Step 5: Drying
• It will passed through massive rollers to
squeeze out excess water from the mixture
• The pulp is sent through heated rollers to
form long rolls of continuous sheets of
paper
• The rolls of paper are sent to various
manufacturers to be produced into paper
products. 5
