Paper is waste that can be easily recycled. Used paper can be collected, out into machines and used as the paper again. This can greatly reduce the number of trees being cut for making paper. A lot of time, energy and money are also saved in this process. So, paper recycling should be carried out more often.
Ways by which you can save paper is
-
Collect used paper and recycle it
-
Spread awareness about e-waste
-
Spread awareness about the importance of soil
-
All of the above
About 80,000-1,60,000 trees are cut down daily to make up to the need of paper products worldwide. Recycling of paper is the process wherein used paper is converted into a resuable form. Recyling has many benifits:
- It heps save trees from cutting down.
- Saves tons of water used in making fresh new virgin trees. Since recycling of paper requires less water.
- Saves electricity usage. Since recycling of paper consumes less electrical power.
To minimise garbage we should
-
Recycle paper
-
Use vermicomposting at home and deal with our kitchen waste
-
Insist on the use of paper bags
-
All of the above
- The paper can be recycled in order to minimize waste production.
- Vermicomposting is the process in which the earthworms are used for the breakdown of the organic matter and production of compost.
- The paper bags are biodegradable and recyclable materials and so the use of these materials should be increased.
During recycling of paper, paper is broken down into
-
Cellulose
-
Plastic
-
Screens
-
All of the above
The process of waste paper recycling involves mixing of used paper with water and chemicals to break it down. It is then chopped and heated, which breaks it down further into strands of cellulose, a type of organic plant material; this resulting mixture is called as pulp or slurry. It is strained through screens, which remove any glue or plastic that may still be in the mixture then cleaned, de-inked, bleached, and mixed with water. Then it can be made into new recycled paper or other products.

Paper is made from the cellulose fibres which are obtained from the wood of the trees. The cellulose fibres are converted to pulp. This pulp is treated with various chemicals and then dried to form the sheets of paper. There are substances like lignin in the wood of trees which results in the paper to become yellow and brittle over some time. So, the yield from the trees for paper production is about 95%.

Economic benefits
-
None of the above
-
Both A and B
- It saves money.
- It creates jobs and generates revenue.
- It acts as a promising industry.
- It reduces pollution because trash isn’t being burned and manufacturers can reuse materials instead of creating new ones which are more energy efficient.
- It conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and mineral.
- It reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
- It leads to sustain the environment for future generations.

Paper, torn clothes and metallic and plastic discards are recyclable wastes. Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new, useful products. This is done to reduce the use of raw materials that would have been used. Paper recycling is a process wherein, a paper that is used, discarded by the consumer, is collected and transported to paper mills. Here, it is sorted and is mixed with water and chemicals and converted into paper pulp. Deinking is carried out to remove printing ink from the paper fibers from the pulp and transformed into reusable form.
Which of the following human activity can maintain the biological equilibrium?
-
Poaching endangered animals
-
Recycling of paper
-
Deforestation
-
None of the above
Recycling is the process by which the product is recycled and made available to use again. The recycling of paper not only saves valuable space in our landfills, but it also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and when one recycle, one also have to use fewer resources like water and energy to turn that item into another usable item. If the paper is recycled, fewer trees will be cut down for paper pulp. This will help to maintain the biological equilibrium in the ecosystem.
Carbon chloride is used in
-
Bleaching of new paper
-
Bleaching of recycled paper
-
Bleaching of clothes
-
None of the above
The process of conversion of paper material into the slurry substance is called as
-
Sorting
-
Shredding
-
Pulping
-
None of the above
The process of waste paper recycling involves mixing of used paper with water and chemicals to break it down. It is then chopped up and heated, which breaks down the paper further into strands of cellulose, a type of organic plant material. This resulting mixture is called as pulp or slurry. This process is called as pulping.
Recycling 1 ton of paper saves
-
7000 gallons of water
-
17 trees
-
Both A and B
-
none of the above
During the production of paper from the wood pulp, about 7000 gallons of water is used. If the paper is recycled, then this large amount of water can be saved. Studies have proven that one ton of paper is equivalent to seventeen fully grown trees. The paper is made from wood pulp. The trees are cut down for making paper. By saving and recycling of the paper, we can help to prevent deforestation.
The common bleaching agent of recycled paper is
-
Hydrogen peroxide
-
Sodium hydrosulfite
-
Chlorine
-
Both A and B
During paper recycling, .......... is used to bleach pulp.
-
Bleaching powder
-
Hydrogen peroxide
-
Water
-
None of the above
Paper recycling is a process wherein, the paper that is used, discarded by the consumer, is collected and transported to paper mills. The papers are mixed with water and chemicals, broken down, converted into paper pulp and transformed into reusable form. The pulp is colored and bleaching is performed to remove the color. The chemicals which are used for bleaching are hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydrosulfite or sodium dithionite. These chemicals help in deinking of the pulp and increasing brightness.
