Paper Demand and Paper Recycling Rate
The demand for paper over the years has grown immensely. The relation between paper and humans is something that can’t be changed or separated. This relation has motivated paper and pulp industries to enhance their products as well. Paper is something that is used in every small aspect from packaging, education, communication, marketing, construction, etc. Every human nowadays depends upon paper for a different day to day activities. According to a report, every year's demand for paper is increasing by 2.1 percent as compared to the previous year. This immense growth is the major reason for the beginning of many new P&P industries. There are different reasons that affect the production and demand of paper across different parts of the world.
Demand and growth
As we all know, demand and supply go hand in hand and so does demand and growth. More demand automatically means more growth. Demand also vary according to regions and area. Regions such as North America, Japan, and western Europe have average demand and this is why growth percentage is also moderate. Whereas, Asia and Eastern Europe regions such as India, Russia, and China produce more paper due to excessive demand for paper in their region. Apart from this, North America witnessed the lowest growth due to low investment in paper products.
This is how demand and growth impact each other. As discussed earlier, demand and growth areas similar to demand and supply. So, more demand also witnesses a surge in price which helps industries to earn more during that period.
Usage of Paper
Just like demand and growth, usage of paper is also dependent on the region. According to a survey, in the U.S. an individual citizen uses 300 kilograms of paper annually. This count, however, is different in other countries in developing countries like India this consumption amounts to 4 kilograms per year whereas, in countries like Africa less than one kilogram of paper is used by per citizen. This usage defines the impacts on the growth of paper and their prices. There are numerous ways but recycling is one of the prominent factors that help the industry to meet the demand for paper.
Paper recycling
To meet the demand of growing paper, industries have opted for the solution to paper recycling. During paper recycling number of machines is set in an order to recycle the paper that they form a chain. This chain helps an industry save time in the recycling process to meet the demand. Apart from this, this recycling process not only meets the demand but also contributes towards the environment. Different gases are emitted during the process of manufacturing and recycling helps to cut off those gases to form a better environment.
There are different steps of recycling which are -
1) Wastepaper is collected from numerous bins around the area and it is escalated to the recycling plant.
2) Different papers are kept in different places according to their material and grade.
3) Paper is washed with water and other soapy material to extract glue, plastic, and other material.
4) After this, washed paper is mixed with water in a big container to form it slurry and pulpy.
5) This material is after that sent further to form different products from it.
The recycling rate in different regions
Production of paper and recycling of paper
. Both aspects are affected by the demand for the paper. As discussed, a citizen of the U.S consumes the highest number of papers per annum. This is why the U.S recycles more than half the number of papers. According to a survey, 44 million tons of paper were recycled and recovered by the U.S in 2012 which is nearly 65% of total paper produced. In 2010, this percentage amounted to nearly 63.5 percent. This had a huge impact on paper and pulp industries across different parts of the world. This change motivated other parts of the world as well.
CONCLUSION
To conclude, this is quite obvious to say that, P&P industries have witnessed growth drastically in the last few decades. One of the main reasons for this change is liberalization. Different regions of the world are using paper in different ways according to their requirement and need. Balaji chem solutions completely understand your requirements and this is why we are providing the same quality paper for many years. Moreover, recycling paper is one major aspect that we focus on and we make sure every single step is done under the supervision of experts with full attention and enthusiasm.
The Paper Industry uses industrial enzymes. These enzymes are proteins that offer a biological solution for paper production. They help the paper producers to cut down on the chemicals, improving the environment and saving a lot of their money.
