Can Carbonless Paper be Recycled?

We understand the purpose of NCR paper helps workplaces and offices make multiple copies of the same document without the need for carbon coating. However, due to its differential chemical properties, many wonder whether it can be recycled the same way as normal paper-based products. The answer is that for most local recycling centres it should not be a problem, but to be sure, here is how you can find out:

1. Find out where your nearest recycling hub is located and contact them regarding their office paper policy, including carbonless paper.
2. If you are unable to find a recycling plant, contact your local council for recommendations of waste management centres that could provide this service.
3. They may offer to collect your paper waste on a timely basis, or you may have to deliver it to them. Make sure you note their drop off hours as they may only accept recyclables on specific days, depending on their process.
