In the past, chlorine was used as the sole bleaching agent, producing dioxin as a by-product. Very few paper manufacturers produce A2 grade recycled paper, as it is expensive and the quality is not nearly asgoodaspaperfromvirginpulppapercanonly be recycled down in grade, not up. And for the name recycled to have any credibility, it should indicate the useofpost-consumerwaste.Allmillsproducingso-called recycled A2 grades primarily use waste pulp from the paper manufacturing process, which is not therefore actually recycled.Also, nasty chemicals have to be used in the production of recycled paper to remove the ink. Then, the sludge has to be disposed of by dumping or incineration. Newsprint is relatively easy to recycle, as there is not as much ink to remove, but it can only be re-used as packing materials and low-grade cardboard etc.Our A2 paper comes from manufacturers that use pulp\x16i`L ifromsustainablymanagedforestsandhaveclosed-loop manufacturing systems.
