You can purchase products made of recycled material. Glass, paper, cardboard, plastics, and aluminum can be recycled. Contact your local recycling center to see if they take paint, batteries, electronics, cell phones, and old appliances. A lot of grocery stores have places where you can drop off plastic bags. You can also purchase reusable canvas grocery bags to replace plastic bags. Instead of buying individual bottled water purchase a filtering system that you can place on your kitchen faucet or a container that filters water. I shred my mail that has personal information.

Yes. The pulp can be reused several times before the fibers break down and cannot be reformed into usable paper.
In theory yes, however in practice paper products used for sanitary purposes are not recycled for hygiene reasons.

Each time paper is recycled, its quality degrades. The fibers become shorter and smaller, and the paper is weaker. So paper that is already made of short, degraded fibers (like tissues) cannot be recycled. Additionally, papers with plastic or wax coatings cannot be recycled easily.
Napkins are similar to paper towels in the way that they CANNOT be recycled. This is because the high amount of recycled fibers already in them, and after being recycled this many times already they are useless past this. There are also concerns about bacteria in such materials. However, there are certain groups that will take napkins and paper towels to BE RECYCLED AS MULCH.
I don't see why not. Even though the paper has already been recycled, the paper still contains wood pulp and possibly other materials that is recyclable once the ink is removed; however, everytime the paper is recycled the fibers become shorter and weaker, and therefore paper can only be recycled so many times. Hope this makes sense.
Yes, paper clips are made of metal and can be recycled. If paper clips and staples are left attached to recycled paper they are separated during the recycling process and can be recycled as metal.
Keeping paper waste to a minimum is an easy endeavor. Simply use both sides of a piece of paper, use paper that has already been recycled, and always recycle all paper scraps.
