The diagram below shows how recycled paper is made . Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the process for manufacturing recycled

paper

.

Overall

,

this

is a mechanical process comprising four main stages:

pulp

creation, filtration, cleansing, and

paper

production. The first stage starts with the collection of used

paper

, which is placed onto a conveyor belt. The

paper

is

then

transferred into a pulping machine, where it is mixed with water and chemicals to break it down into a slurry. During the second stage, the pulpy mixture is sieved, which results in a more homogeneous and cleaner

pulp

. The third stage is the cleaning phase, where the

pulp

is thoroughly washed with water and soap.

Additionally

, the air is fed into the

pulp

so that smaller impurities,

such

as ink particles, can be removed. The

pulp

thereafter

undergoes another round of chemical and water treatment. Once the cleaning step has been completed, the

pulp

is laid out on a conveyor belt and passed through heated rollers, which press and dry the

pulp

into

paper

. The

paper

is

subsequently

rolled up, resulting in rolls of recycled

paper

ready for distribution and use.
