What are the types of recycled paper?
There are three different types of paper that can be used to make recycled paper.
The first, called mill broke, is recycled in the paper mill itself using scraps and paper trimmings from the manufacturing process.
The second type of paper is made from pre-consumer waste content. This simply means the paper was discarded, for whatever reason, before it was ready for consumer use.
The last type of paper is made from post-consumer content. Post-consumber content is made from paper discarded after the consumer uses it. Examples are old magazines, newspapers, etc. Burris Computer Forms uses paper made from post-consumer recycled content.
