Paper

Paper, an everyday material deeply integrated into our lives, currently operates on a very linear path- manufactured, used, and discarded. Envisioning a shift towards a curricular economy model for paper seems promising. By redesigning its composition and connected infrastructures, paper could embrace a closed-loop system. Firstly, altering the production process to incorporate refueled fibers or sustainable sources like agricultural residues could diminish reliance on virgin wood pulp. A redesign focusing on eco friendly materials and innovative production methods could foster a circular paper economy. Enhancing recycling technologies to efficiently collect and process used paper products becomes crucial. Instituting policies and infrastructures promoting paper recycling at both individual and industrial levels would help a lot. Overall , transitioning paper into a circular economy demands a holistic approach and seems very doable if we could get everyone on board and working towards the same goal which is nearly impossible it seems these days.
