I work for an Architectural Planning and Design firm in Des Moines, IA. We go through a ton of paper products every year. Our firm is very conscience of environmental and sustainable design and practices. We are interested in learning more about the possibility or recycling our own paper and reusing it for our marketing materials. Could you please provide any thoughts on the equipment, process area, and cost that might be involved in this? Also, we have an art studio that creates commercial clay products. They have several kilns and horizontal ram press. could this equipment be used in the paper recycling process?
Thank you for your time.

While we’re talking recycling, here is a tip for Wool and Cashmere Sweater Recycling.
Now that temperatures are dropping faster than the leaves, its time to switch out our closets. Soo, as you pull out those old, favorite wool and cashmere sweaters, if you see any that have holes in them, send them our way.
We’re not asking for good sweaters – give those to homeless shelters or resale shops – we just want your hole-y, damaged, shrunken sweaters. We are going to recycle them into rugs, but don’t want to take good sweaters away from people that need them.
Please send sweaters to:
Sweater Recycling

Thank you for your donation!
