The waste paper, cardboard and carton amounts to approx. 13 million tons in United Kingdom alone and is thus one of the most significant waste stream in the country.
The specialist recycling requirement is to production of a high basic quality for re-use in paper production. Contamination must be removed carefully; as here the requirement for Reusing is particularly apparent.
Using advanced screening and sorting equipment, Sutco plants can produce de-inking material with suitable quality.

The higher the quality of sorted paper, the more valuable it is when it can be returned to the paper industry. This means that the primary new fi bres are replaced with secondary raw material such as waste paper, the more favourable this is for the paper industry as less water, energy and raw material are being used.
