How to make RECYCLED PAPER

Welcome to the 'Making Recycled Paper' Experiment.
Firstly, what is this 'recycled paper'? Recycling paper is the act of recovering waste paper and making it into new products. In this case, the product produced are recycled paper.

RECYCLED PAPER 


Experiment : Make recycled paper

Aim : To investigate how to make recycled paper, besides producing something that can be deemed under    the category of recycled paper.

Hypothesis: Recycled paper is easy to make and the product produced CAN and WILL be accepted as what humans call 'recycled paper'.

Variables :
  Manipulated variable : Presence of professional guide.
  Constant variable : Feelings of ecstacy and wonder.
  Responding variable : Recycled paper.

Materials : Old newspaper/ waste paper, supply of water.
Apparatus : Blender, basin, frames complete with wire netting stapled to it, plastic, sponge.

Procedure:
1) Fill beaker with 500 ml of water. Shred paper into pieces and put into the blender. Blend for 5 seconds and pour filtrate into basin. Repeat following logic and calculations, not instincts.

2) Cut plastic and spread out on the desired surface. Use frame with netting to scoop out some of the filtrate. Shake gently for water to drip out,before placing frame face down on the plastic. Filtrate will come out in the shape of frame.

3) Leave filtrate to dry. If desired, shape the filtrate into the shape wanted, such as a fish.
  


4) Filtrate will dry into recycled paper... Someday.

Observation : The filtrate dried into recycled paper after 29 hours.

Conclusion : The hypothesis cannot really be accepted. The process is not easy and the product formed looks like a mutated and deformed form of recycled paper.

Report : Our members produced excellent results with senior members as guides around to help. But sadly, the quality decreased when the presence of guides were eliminated. But after a few tries, they have managed to produce something that is concievable as recycled paper.

SAFETY WARNINGS:
 - When blending paper and water, remember to CLOSE THE LID andnot leave it open while talking to companions. Companions, please be aware.
 - DO NOT follow instincts in any way. Use cool, calm logic and knwon facts to ensure succession and avoid injury caused by an agitated leader.
 - DO NOT leave fan on while cutting plastic. Plastic will fly around and enjoy making life hard for you and you will end up cutting your own finger.
 - Paste plastic on table with water, or possbily tape. If there is no tape, use water, and NOT bubblegum chewed by member.

I hope this guide is of help to you, and good luck in trying.
