The given diagram shows the step-by-step process of rebranding old
paper.
Overall, the process encompasses 4 linked main stages, commencing
with making pulp and culminating in producing recycled paper.
In the initial stage, the papers previously used are put on a conveyor belt
and transferred respectively to a gathered box. Once the papers are
concentrated in that box, they are deposited into a mixed chemical agent
and water container where they are broken down into individual fibers
and then form a slurry-like pulp transferred through a tube lead to be
filtered. The slurry is subsequently transferred to a different container for
further processing.
The next phase involves cleaning and making paper. The slurry passes
through a pipe to a mixture of water, soap, and air, which is used to
eliminate ink residues. After that, the cleaned paste is channeled to a
container that has water and chemicals again in order to enhance the
removal of impurities. In the fourth stage, the clean pulp is poured into a
conveyor belt which efficiently guides the pulp through an advanced
drying process that employs heated rollers to effectively eliminate
moisture. Ultimately, the dried paper is wound into rolls of recycled paper,
preparing it for reuse or distribution in an environmentally responsible
way.
