Title: Green question
Post by: HolyCount on 05 September 2009, 11:50:41

A thought popped into my head (as it does every now and then) as I was putting my "green" recycled bin liner in the bin:

I read somewhere (might be utter guff) that paper can only be recycled three times before the fibres become to brittle (for what??) ....

Anyway ..... how do you know when your newspaper (for instance) has already been through the mill (literally) three times and not to bother re-recycling it ????
