Ensuring Proper Disposal of Office Paper Waste Products in Business
There are several different kinds of paper waste commonly produced in Canada. Corporate offices and small businesses in general tend to produce high amounts of paper waste. Ensuring proper disposal of office paper waste products in business, here are a few examples of the different kinds of paper and how they can be recycled.
There’s white ledger paper which is used for writing, printing, typing, and copy paper requiring only black ink. Certain qualities of book pages – separate from their covers and bindings – are allowed in white ledger recycling. Then there is colored ledger paper which contains any colors other than black. They generally exclude papers that are treated, coated, padded, or heavily printed.
Computer printout paper is one of the most valuable types of office paper. Very high-grade, it may have colored bars – something which is usually preferred by most businesses. The majority of recycling markets in the world also have a preference towards impact type computer printout paper rather than nonimpact.
When planning which computer printout paper type to buy, you might want to speak to your local waste management and recycling company to find out what makes most sense for your local area. In general, computer printout paper is too valuable to mix with other papers and is encouraged to be kept separate from contamination.
In banks, insurance companies and similar institutions, computer printout paper makes up approximately 30 percent total waste. In general office work, the percentage is much lower at 7 percent. Upon recycling, paper like computer printouts, white ledgers, and colored ledgers are high-grade and can be used to make tissues and printing papers. High-grade office papers like these are common to manufacturing napkins and paper towels as well.
