The growth in waste paper recycling on a global scale is due to a combination of environmental and economic factors. The key driver is the tightening of environmental legislation and the growing awareness of society about the problem of resource depletion. Recycling allows us to significantly reduce deforestation, save water and energy resources – the production of paper from recycled materials requires 40-60% less energy and water.
Economic feasibility also plays an important role: waste paper is a valuable raw material for packaging materials, cardboard and construction products. The development of a “green” economy and responsible consumption are becoming a global trend, stimulating demand for products made from recycled materials. Technological progress also allows one fiber to be recycled up to 5-7 times, increasing the efficiency of the entire process. Thus, the global trend towards sustainable development directly stimulates the growth of waste paper turnover. And in the future, apparently, the increase in volumes in this industry will only grow. Of course, this is a joyful fact for everyone who cares about the environment and the cleanliness of the world around us.
