Recycling Paper





First, you rip up old magazines and newspapers. Then you soak the pieces for 3 days. After that, you run a screen through the slop and peel off the piece of new paper. Squeeze all the water out with a manual press, then stick the new piece of paper on the wall to dry thoroughly. If automated, this process would be so much more efficient, but this place does it the old fashioned way because they do not have sophisticated equipment. We spent about an hour helping them rip up old papers and books.
