Paper Recycling
Paper recycling is the collection and processing of used paper products to make new paper products and involves a number of steps before it even gets to the paper mill.
Paper Industry
PAMSA supports the South African pulp and paper industry in pre-competitive and common areas of environmental issues, education and training, and research and development.
Paper Explained
Paper has a fascinating history. Developed centuries ago, it has been through the mill – literally and figuratively – in terms of what it’s made from and how it is made.
