- 9. Paper waste and recycling The production and recycling of paper has numbers of adverse effect on the environment. In the cleaning process, despite the water is being treated after use, soil is being contaminated. In the deinking process the water use is being mixed with soap-like chemicals called surfactants, producing sludge which need to be burn on 800c to be reused. Photo: Chemical sludge collecting.
