Most papers themselves can be recycled. However:
- Some papers are composites with layers of foil or plastic for waterproofing. The non paper materials are bonded to the paper and cannot be removed which prevents recycling.
- Some materials called paper such as foil wrap or plastic sheets are not recyclable with paper as these are not paper
- In the normal paper products, papers which are dirty or contaminated with grease or similar materials are diverted from recycling for health reasons.
- Newsprint can become unfit for recycling if exposed to sunlight or water or even as it ages as the finer lengths are reduced.
