Paper and paper products can be easily recycled. Cardboard, newspaper, and highquality papers can all be recycled. Different kinds of paper like newsprint and highquality white paper are sorted into separate piles because they are processed differently. Paper is recycled by shredding it into small pieces and mixing it with water. The mixture is beaten into mush, called pulp, that flows onto a moving screen where most of the water is taken out. Wood or paper fibers remain and the fiber is pressed through rollers that squeeze out more water. It is then dried in a steamheated dryer. The result is recycled.
