Why paper cant be recycled over and over again?

Paper fibers shorten and break down each time paper is recycled, reducing its quality. After being recycled multiple times, the fibers become too short to make high-quality paper products. Additionally, contamination and the need for fresh fiber to maintain paper strength limit the number of times paper can be recycled.


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.

Why only half the iron is recycled?

One reason only half of the iron is recycled is because it can be difficult and energy-intensive to extract and process scrap iron for reuse. This can make it more economically viable for some industries to use virgin iron ore instead of recycled iron. Additionally, not all iron-containing products are collected and recycled efficiently, leading to lower overall recycling rates for iron.
