RECYCLING OF OLD PAPERS FOR NOTEBOOK PRODUCTION

The main proposal of this work is to develop a process for recycle old papers for production of notebooks in urban and countryside schools. Mechanic and visual properties of recycled papers were improved through a mixture of old paper pulp and virgin pulps of bamboo, sugar-cane, Eucalyptus and wood from the Rio de Janeiro natural forest. The community has been accepted the idea and had a great interest for the research project and they are coming to visit us to know the recycle process.

Key words:
Paper recycling; virgin pulp; notebook.
