What is cheaper to make the new paper or the recycled paper?
There are many factors that affect the cost of making paper but the most powerful are economical. One thing to remember is that there are tax subsidies to companies that cut down trees from the department or agriculture but not to companies that recycle. Another factor is the type of paper you are making. Writing paper needs to be whitier which is harder to achieve with recycled paper while that is not important when making newsprint. The biggest factor is the law of supply and demand. Recycled paper is a commodity that goes up and down. When supply is tight, the price goes up and it is cheaper to use virgin pulp. However, when supply is abundant then it is cheaper to use recycled paper.
Can gold be recycled instead of mined?
Gold IS recycled- it is too expensive NOT to recycle. But please remember- recycling does NOT create new material of any kind. If you want MORE of a thing, recycling does not provide that. Example- you are graduating from school, and want a gold class ring. Perhaps your grandfather's class ring could be recycled, to make your ring. But where will your brother and sister get THEIR rings? You need additional gold- and that comes from mining.
Why should you use recycled paper?
Because it's good for the environment and it will save more trees. If we don't recycle and just throw it away, we have to cut down more trees to make more paper that would be unnecessary if we would just reuse the paper that we already have made. Recyclable paper helps the environment because it stops a lot of used paper being put into waste dumps or burn, and also if you recycle paper it means manufacturers don't have to cut down more trees to make paper.
