PAPER RECYCLING

All newspapers and magazines (N&P) collected from public recycling banks are shipped to UPM Kymmene, in Shotton, N Wales for recycling into more paper! UPM is the largest recovered fibres Mill in the UK, producing newspaper print paper from 100% recycled newspapers and magazines. This newsprint paper is purchased by the Isle of Man newspaper group to print the Islands newspapers - a working example of closing the recycling loop!
