Newspaper
By far the most abundant material among TROC's curbside mix, the member communities deliver about 9,000 tons per year of recycled newspaper and inserts mixed with magazines, which are recovered and used to make new newsprint, but also can be feedstock for building insulation and low-grade papers such as kraft paper and paperboard.
According to the U.S. EPA, 89% of newspapers generated in 2005 were recovered for recycling. Newspaper is made from mechanical wood pulp as well as pulp made from recycled newsprint. This lightweight paper has bright and opaque features which make this paper grade suitable for good print contrast desired for newspapers.
