| Recycle Circle - Paper recycling comes full circle |
| OCR is partnering with Hagadone Printing Company to recycle some of the paper we collect. Myah Ely, Sustainability Coordinator of Hagadone Printing Company tells us how recycling comes in full circle. |
 |
Step 1 - Set up your recycling programs with Oahu Community Recycling. |
Step 2 - When the paper leaves your hands and into the recycle bin, it is picked up by OCR. Paper is taken to Hagadone Printing Company for processing. |
  |
 |
| Step 3 - The bins are emptied into a paper shredder and bailed into one ton squares. The bales are loaded onto a container, picked up by trucker, and shipped over the Pacific Ocean to a Pulp Mill. | Step 4 - The pulp mill drops the bales into a pulper machine and water is added to make a slurry. |
 |
 |
| Step 5 - The paper manufacturer then uses this slurry in the production of "new" paper. | Step 6 - These recycled paper products are used in printing at Hagadone Printing Company. |
