Overview
Paper and card wastes include any single one or mixture of the following: Paper, card, board, board/plastic composites and other paper composite products. Most of this waste arises from offices and packaging[1].
Due to the fact paper and card are derived from trees it is important that paper and car waste is recycled so the rate at which these materials are used does not exceed the rate at which the trees can grow[1].
In addition to recycling, a significant portion of paper and card waste is sent to energy recovery facilities, totaling 566,000 tonnes in 2014[2].
