How Waste Paper Classification Works, the UNI EN 643 Codes, and the Importance of Paper Recycling for the Circular Economy
By Marco Arezio
Paper recycling is not just a historical practice but also a crucial necessity in today’s environmental context, representing one of the fundamental pillars of the circular economy.
Every year, over 250 million tons of paper are recycled worldwide, making this sector a virtuous example of sustainable resource management.
This process reduces pressure on forests, decreases energy and water consumption, and significantly lowers CO2 emissions associated with virgin paper production.
