Paper

Where is it taken?

Smiths (Gloucester) Ltd, Moreton Valence, Gloucester

What happens to it?

At Smiths the paper is baled and sent for recycling at Palm Paper, Kings Lynn.

There the paper is added to water and chemicals, put through tiny screens to remove contamination such as staples, bleached and then fed into a paper machine that removes the water and rolls the paper into flat rolls. It is then cut to size and used as recycled paper, or to make cardboard.
