Between recycling paper and converting virgin pulp to paper, the basic process is just the same the only difference is the de-inking plant on the former. The following are the basic process in producing paper:

1. Pulping

2. De-inking (if producing paper from recycled materials)

3. Refining (not advisable too much power required)

4. Forming

5. Pressing

7. Drying (boilers using fuel)

8. Calendering (for glossy finish)

10. Reeling

11. Winding

Since recycling used too much power and equipment including chemicals to remove the ink, initially using virgin pulp is much economical. But, since the trend is in recycling that concern is now balanced. Please note that paper manufacturing uses too much cubic meter of water per tonnage of finished product more than any other industry thus it needs to have it's own waste water treatment system on its premises in order not to pollute the environment. And lastly, paper mill is capital intensive and the rate of return on investments will take years. So be ready.

If the printing method used is offset, then the ink used are water based. Waste papers coming from the offices, these inks are much tougher to remove because of the process used on printing them. Scanning, Laser printing, and some other printing methods used on offices are a headache for paper makers. Newspapers are easy to recycle though.

Hi guys!

I'm new in this forum!

I'm interesting in the subject of paper recycling.

Can you help me? I'd like to begin a little paper recycling factory in my community in Mexico. But I need all the info you can share with me (machinery, logistics, flow chart process, etc.

You can contact me by email: [email protected]

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards!

"....An official at the Al Suweidi Paper Factory, the only facility in Qatar that recycles paper, said their daily capacity was 42-43 tonnes.

“We have 35 trucks that are working round-the-clock and around 70 personnel involved in collection,” the official said.

According to him, recycling of newspaper and other printed material requires additional chemicals.

The only plastic recyclers in the country, Doha Plastic, could not be reached. Not much could be found on aluminium recycling – the most lucrative in the international market – except that it’s shipped to Dubai...."

This is awesome! I have recently moved to Doha from the USA where we had active recycling programs, and I am now starting to look at recycling for our main office in Doha. Would you please provide contact information for the "Al Swaidi Factory" so we can get a program going. I believe the more people and companies that get involved, the more it will grow. Thank you for all the research.

I agree with Londonalgiers, we need to use less paper, electricity, plastic bags, and polystyrine.

When i first arrived here I was shocked (now i am just angry) by the amount of waste being produced just at supermarkets. I hate the polystirine(sp) dishes used at the deli then it is put in a plastic bag and then another plastic bag at the checkout!

At the checkouts only a couple of items are put in each bag and you end up going home with 6 or more bags. I now tell them to fill the bags up and I try never to go home with more than 3 bags and only to use big bags so i can recycle them are rubbish bags. The checout people look at me as if I am stupid - lots of education is needed.

I agree with you londonalgiers. Since this is just a volunteer work, i can only handle papers. Al Swaidi Factory collects our office paper once a month and it is a good idea to collect papers from the public as well to lessen the waste in the landfills. Also, we just dont recycle our papers, we reduce the amount of paper we use and re-use if both sides not filled out yet. That's the only time we recycle the paper if its all used up.

 Paper recycling is everywhere here in qatar but sadly to schools and some private companies only.

 

to tell you all this is my initiative in celebration of the World Environment Day on June 5, 2008. In my own little way helping the environment and the people as well.

I think that all these initiative to recycle paper are good! but the best option to save the environement is not paper, paper is a renewable energy and in fact is not as big a deal as fosil fuels. In my opinion it is better the switch off the light in your patio or in the porch try and save electricity. If construction companies were serious about the environement, they would build houses with red bricks and make the walls properly insulated and not the way most house are build in the gulf. But i gues some of you will say it's better than nothing..best way is to avoid recycling and try to use less paper as possible. But also stop accepting plastic bags and start resuing the same ones. Keep a few in your car and where you go shopping use them. Turn off your electrical appliances from the plug. Standby mode is just as energy consuming. Use natural light whenver possible and swithc off AC whenever you leave the house.

Thank you Kitty, anything would be helpful.  No, they are going all out, grey-water recycling, solar panels, heat-exchangers, everything.  It is not the major technology that is the problem, it is the basics of getting someone to collect the paper and cans, are they really recycled or just put in a landfill, etc.

 

Ignore my earlier PM then, I've duplicated posts.

Well done, that is quite an accomplishment-we've been trying for a year in my office with no success. It never hurts to devlop the recycling habits- it is just that the jury is still out on paper recycling in many countries, and I'm not at all convinced that it is efficient here.  Though, if it reduces the volume of waste in the landfills maybe that in itself will be enough of a benefit. 

Hey Kitty, would  you mind if I put you in touch with a co-worker who is trying to create a recycling programme in the dorms?  Lots of waste there and should be easy to collect with such a compact population, but trying to get it up and runnng is proving to be a problem.  I think that she might benefit from your experience.

Not sure paper recycling is worth it here in Qatar.  Paper recycling is very iffy in the first place, the energy needed to run the recylcing plants and remove the heavy metal containing ink from the paper-and that doesn't even take into account the energy used to collect and transport the waste paper.  Freshly made paper at least uses some energy drawn from the combustion of the waste wood at the pulp mill.  I just don't see that Qatar has the infrastructre to make paper recyling a plus for the environment.

Why would you want to collect newspapers from us if you do not know what you are going to do with them? Are you a horder or do you want to make building bricks with them? I am just curious. I thought you wanted to collect them for some kind of charity.

Sorry I did not get what you meant about everybody is right and everybody is wrong depends on where you stand...

 

Guys this is just my initiative. No money or whatever. You can drop the papers for recycling or I can collect it from your area. I just want to help some of you who just stock/store papers in your garage.

 

You can drop the papers if you would like to my house near Hot Bread in Najma. Just give me a call when and what time you will go.

 

I dont know who would buy used papers. Nor its worth.

 

My number is 5208151 just give me a call whenever.

What are your plans? The gulf Times often publishes ads for reclycling and I have wanted to send them a mail asking if they could start /give info about the paper recycling, as this is their business. But unfortunately I never did.

I think a paper collection would be a good idea. We do it in the west....and we all have lots of newspapers everyday. Would you know who would buy it? What is it worth and where would the money be spent?

Everybody is right everybody is wrong it depends where you stand.
