Recycled paper or cardboard is manufactured from collected waste paper (FCR.) According to the Association des Producteurs et Utilisateurs de papiers-cartons Recyclés (APUR, http://www.apur-papiersrecycles.com,) a paper or cardboard item is said to be recycled when it contains at least %50 of waste fibers.

The recycling of paper- and cardboard-based waste products (packaging, printed press, newspapers, etc.) is the reintroduction of these items in the paper-cardboard industry’s production cycle. Internal recycling is the reuse in a manufacturing process of materials that are a waste product of that process: similar products are produced once again, such as cardboard boxes, printed press, newspapers, etc.

Though most paper and cardboard are recyclabe, all types are not necessarily recycled. To be «recyclable,» a product must be fit for reuse in a production circuit within a complete recycling process.

Collecting consists of the first phase in the recycling cycle as what hasn’t been collected may not be recycled. Though most paper and cardboard are «recyclabe,» not all types may be collected for reasons tied to their destruction (sanitary and household products…,) to their immobilization due to their use (books…,) thto their eventual contamination or their too wide geographical dispersion.
