Day 104: Recycled Newspaper
I dropped the newspaper that I couldn’t use in my compost bin in the recycling can of my building.
The EPA says that each year the US uses about 85 million tons of paper and paperboard.
Newspapers are recycled into a number of products. One of the most common is new newsprint. According to the Newspaper Association of America (NAA), the average newspaper contains 30 percent recycled fiber content.
