Abstract

Q. Is there a limit to how often paper can be recycled? A. Some industry sources estimate that an ordinary sheet of paper made from cellulose fibers derived from wood can survive only four to six trips through the recycling process. The Environmental Protection Agencyputs the figure at five to seven times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
