Re: Recycle sub paper. Lets go green.

Post by Quinsfan »

Hi guys
Is Trupix paper or any sub paper recyclable or has it been treated in such a way that it cant be recycled.
I have a bin full of off cuts and want to know what to do with them. I was thinking of shredding them even finer for the compost heap but again thought about any chemicals.
Many thanks
Iain

i cut mine down and then use them for note pads or shred them if i have too many and they go in the recycling bin, never thought about what residue of chemicals might be on them

If a glossy magazines can be recycled, then I don't see why used sub papers can't be.

Just thought, what about the used ones do you recycle them as well.
Many thanks

Chemicals ? I thought this was just absorbent paper !

All of mine goes in the Recycle bin..
My website is open: www.Linksrepairshop.co.uk

Using FlexiStarter 10 and a Liyu SC631e & a Silhouette Cameo cutter. 2x Ricoh SG3110dn printers and Adkins Auto Clam press. Using Sublijet-r from Sawgrass.

That's why I am asking the question Nik. Also the sub ink is different to normal ink. So is it ok to recycle? Maybe if Sawgrass could tell us.
Many thanks

"Sawgrass Green Ink Statement" from their consumer division, (the link for the equivalent document from the industrial division is dead.)
