Subject: Energetic balance in paper incineration and recycling
Country: USA
Source: Warmer Bulletin - World Resource Foundation
Submitted by: J. H. Penido
Curiosity (text):
According to the Department of Energy, paper incineration produces 8.000 Btu/pound while recycling recovers only 2.000 Btu/pound. That means that in order to obtain a balance between the two methods, the paper would have to be recovered as pulp for four times at least, compromising the quality of the fibers
