How to recycle common office and school supplies properly?

No. Small quantities of staples and paper clips are removed during the pulping process at recovery mills. Focus instead on keeping paper dry, clean and free of plastic sleeves or laminated sheets.

What office supplies cannot be recycled?

PVC document wallets, laminated folders, plastic-coated exercise book covers and mixed-material items are the main culprits. Replacing them with recycled document wallets and board-based filing products keeps those materials in the paper stream instead of landfill.

How can our organisation improve its stationery recycling rate?

Buy mono-material products made from recycled content, so items recycle without preparation. Then place paper recycling bins at every workpoint, add one collection point for specialist items, and review landfill audits to remove unrecyclable products from future orders.
