Newspapers
Newspapers are made of paper. They take longer to recycle than a plain piece of paper.
First, the newspapers are dumped into a chemical detergent solution. They are slushed through while the detergent dissolves the ink so that it can be carried away
Next, the slushy pile of paper is sent through a filtering process to remove all foreign articles that might be attached to the newspapers, which includes things like staples, bits of tape, dirt, dead houseflies or crumbs
The pile of paper is still very dirtys and must next be bleached to draw out all the color and produce the plain white of new paper look. After or even during the bleaching process, the newspaper will get a bit of backbone added in the form of additional wood pulp
