How do you recycle paper?

You probably collect your wastepaper at home and put it in a dedicated garbage can or take it to the wastepaper bank. But then what happens to it? How does paper recycling work?

Before you get started

If you are experimenting at home:
1. Let your parents know and discuss the experiments with them beforehand.
2. Do not eat or drink at your workspace.
3. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after the experiment.
4. Be careful and cautious with the materials.
