  • DSOCC#12 & Premium & OCC#11
  • Corrugated Containers
  • Multi Walled Bags
  • Sorted Office Papers
  • Hard & Soft Mixed Papers
  • Ferrous & Non Ferrous Scraps

Why Recycle Old Newspapers?

  • Reduction of waste materials sent to incinerators and landfills which in turn minimizes the emission of harmful gases such as methane into the environment.
  • 37 per cent of the output of methane gas is from landfills so by recycling organic materials like paper, anaerobic decomposition and methane gas production is significantly reduced.
  • Recycling old newspapers is also a wonderful way to conserve the few natural resources left on the planet.
  • Manufacture of paper requires timber, one of the reasons why multitudes of trees are felled every year.
  • When paper is recycled, you help in the conservation of timber, minerals and water.
  • When a ton of paper is recycled every year, 7000 gallons of water and 17 trees are saved.
  • Every time a ton of paper is recycled, 4,200 kilowatt energy hours can be saved!

What are DLK “A” & “B” Grade SWL/HWS/CBS?

  • White ledger(WL) consists of Non-glossy, printed or unprinted white, including letterhead, typing writing and copy machine paper, shavings, guillotined books, and cuttings of white groundwood-free ledger, bond, writing paper, and all other papers which have a similar fiber and filler content.
  • Coated book stock(CBS) consists of coated groundwood-free paper, coated sulphite or sulphate papers, printed or unprinted in sheets, shavings, bleached sulphite or sulphate papers, printed or unprinted in sheets, shavings, guillotined books and cuttings. A reasonable percentage of papers containing fine groundwood may be included.
  • Hard white shavings(HWS) consists of shavings or sheets of unprinted, untreated white groundwood-free paper. Prohitive materials are not permitted. Total outhrows may not exceed 1/2 or 1%.

What kind of materials fall under DSOCC#12 & Premium & OCC#11?

  • OCC are corrugated papers having liners of either test liner,jute or kraft. Under this category of paper,the following characteristics are exibited.
  • Prohibitive Materials should not exceed 5%, Outthrows should not exceed 5%, Combined Outthrows and Prohibitives may not exceed 5%.
  • DSOCC are sorted to be free of boxboard, off-shore corrugutated, plastic, and wax. Trash/Prohibitive Materials are 0%, Outthrows plus prohibitive may not not exceed 5%
  • Moisture content may not exceed 5%, Bales sizes in (cm) stands at 115(Width)/ Height(115) and Length( 200), 25 Bales per Container.
  • The OCC 11, also referred to as Grade 11 OCC mainly includes corrugated containers used for paper recycling.
  • Recycling corrugated containers involves diverting old cardboard from the waste stream, the elimination of contaminants, and the flattening or compressing of material to promote ease of handling, storing, and transportation
  • Recycling OCC reduces energy and water usage while cutting the production of greenhouse gas and certain air pollutants like total reduced sulfur (TRS), volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), and hazardous air pollutants (HAP).
  • Recycling corrugated containers also reduces the demand for virgin timber.
  • It takes approximately three tons of trees to manufacture just one ton of virgin cardboard. Recycling helps reduce waste tipping fees as well.
  • The corrugated industry reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent between 2010 and 2018.

Why Recycle Multiwall Bags?

  • Multi-Wall paper bag provides a low-cost and environmental friendly packaging method because it can be fully recyclable and specifically designed as packaging for industrial and commercial products.
  • Multi-Wall paper bag is often used for packing dry and powered form of materials such as flour, dry chemicals, carbon black, cement and others.
  • Multi-Wall paper bag consists of multi layers of sack papers to make it stronger and more durable.
  • Multi-Wall paper bags are more efficient than many other packaging types because they conform to the dimensions of the shipped product and add minimal weight.
  • Multiwall paper bags are one of the most cost-effective packaging options available today. Made with paper, a renewable resource, it’s a sustainable option for numerous industries, including agricultural, chemical, animal nutrition, food processing and more.

What are Hard and Soft Mixed Papers?

  • Hard mixed papers for 6ecycling include clean and sorted papers of differing qualities that have less than 10% groundwood.
  • Soft mixed papers for recycling are made up of sorted and clean paper types of various quality including type of fiber.
  • For Soft mixed papers recycling prohibitive materials may not exceed 1% and Outthrows plus prohibitives may not exceed 5%
  • For Hard mixed papers recycling prohibitive materials may not exceed 1/2 of 1%. Outthrows plus prohibitives may not exceed 3%
  • In recent years, about 85 million tons of mixed paper products were generated by Americans, which was a 3-fold increase from 1960.
  • Approximately 52 percent of all mixed paper products were recovered in 2006 which was almost 3 times the percent recovered in 1960.

What Are Sorted Office Papers?

  • SOP consists of paper, as typically generated by offices, containing primarily white and colored ground wood-free paper, free of unbleached fiber.
  • SOP May include a small percentage of ground wood computer printout and facsimile paper. Prohibitive materials may not exceed 2%. Total outthrows may not exceed 5%.
  • Sorted Office Paper also consists of printed or unprinted paper sheets, shavings, and cuttings of colored or white sulphite or sulphate ledger, bond, writing, and other papers which have similar fiber and filler content.
  • It includes more than 10% colored paper.
  • Maximum effort will be given to prevent the following prohibited paper categories being mixed in the recovered paper supplies
  • Assurance of storage and transport conditions.

What Are Ferrous & Non Ferrous Scraps?

  • Ferrous metals include mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and wrought iron. These metals are primarily used for their tensile strength and durability, especially mild steel which helps hold up the tallest skyscrapers.
  • Non-ferrous metals include aluminum, brass, copper, nickel, tin, lead, and zinc, as well as precious metals like gold and silver.
  • Ferrous metals are very durable. They are used in large, high-burden bridges, skyscrapers, the railroad system and immense sections of durable pipeline.
  • Non-ferrous metals, or metals without significant iron content, are also strong. However, they are lighter than ferrous metals and cannot suspend similar loads.
  • There is a broad range of consumer and commercial goods that contain recyclable non-ferrous metals, such as soda cans, electronic circuitry, car radiators, and airplane components.
