Abstract

Abstract: Wood is the main material for paper production and with high costs of raw material paper mills are searching for other materials for paper production. With a higher demand for paper, waste paper is being used more and more as the main material for paper production.
To be able to use waste paper in paper production we must pulp it, remove all contaminants and deink. In paper recycling plants a huge problem is waste water due to the high water consumption. Waste water from paper recycling is treated in different ways then reused in the recycling process.
Croatia’s waste paper recovery rate is one of the lowest in the European union and in 2010 was only 3,97 kg per person. Improving the recovery rate could be done by introducing new technologies in waste paper collection i.e. modern trucks for waste paper collection.

Abstract (croatian)

Drvo je glavna sirovina za proizvodnju papira, te s visokim troškovima ulazne sirovine, tvornice papira su u potrazi za drugim materijalima za proizvodnju papira. S povećanjem potražnje papira, otpadni papir se sve više i više koristi kao glavna sirovina u proizvodnji novog papira. Kako bi se otpadni papir mogao koristiti u proizvodnji potrebno ga je provesti u pulpu te odstraniti sve nečistoće i tintu. Zbog velike potrošnje vode u postrojenjima za reciklažu papira veliki problem je otpadna voda. Ona se pročišćava na razne načine te se ponovno koristi u procesu recikliranja. Povrat otpadnog papira u Hrvatskoj je praktično na najnižoj razini u Europskoj Uniji, a 2010. godine iznosio je samo 3,97 kg po osobi. Unapređenje povrata starog papira moglo bi biti poboljšano uvođenjem novih tehnologija u prikupljanju otpadnog papira npr. suvremenijim kamionima za njegovo sakupljanje.
