Product Information

Certain types of paper – e.g.photo, listing, business card paper –have specialist uses which are explained in the relevant sections. But the most important differences between everyday, office types of paper are size (A4, etc), colour, weight (GSM) and printer type. Most plain paper willprobablywork in different types of printer, but this can’t be guaranteed and the quality of the print-outs will vary significantly. Economy paper is fine for printing internal communications or for the fax or photocopier. But better quality paper will produce better printing results. Size (A1, A2, A3, A4, etc) Gloss coated paper is typically used for photographic printing where a high-quality finish is needed. Matt Coated Paper Silk coated paper has a special double-sided surface coating for brilliant colour reproduction and an elegant, silky finish. It’s suitable for printing important brochures, photographs, manual covers, menus and high-quality direct mail. Uncoated Paper

However, there are some residents that are getting it wrong and with this campaign we want to help them to get it right. Paper size is normally measured to an international standard known as ISO 216: A3, A4, A5, B4, B5 and so on. These sizes all have the same aspect ratio: 1:√2. A4 is by far the most common and this is the default size for most office and home printers. A3 is twice the size of A4 and tends to be used more for posters or presentations. These unwanted items have led to the rejection of some loads of paper and card collected for recycling.

Recycle for Greater Manchester has teamed up with the council to launch a new recycling campaign with a spotlight on wrong items found in residents’ beige paper and card bins.

Uncoated paper provides a super smooth finish and ensures brilliant colour contrast. Watermarked Paper In January, tough new quality standards in the paper and card recycling market were introduced, and this means that we have to collect as much clean paper and card as possible. Aqueous paper coating is a clear, fast-drying water-based coating that is used to protect printed pieces. It creates a high-gloss or matte surface that prevents dirt and fingerprints. Aqueous coating improves the durability of postcards and other direct mailings as they go through the post. It can also protect business cards. It looks great on brochures, catalogue covers, and presentation folders. Due to its water base, aqueous coating is more environmentally friendly than varnish or UV coatings. Photo Paper

We get a surprising number of nappies and baby wipes in the paper and card recycling and these are serious contaminants that should go in the general waste bin and never in the recycling bin.” Opacity is the property of paper that describes the amount of light which is transmitted through it. Paper that has a high opacity does not let much light pass through it; paper that has a low opacity is more translucent and allows lots of light to pass through it.

Paper can be coated in various ways to give different finishes to the paper’s surface e.g. varnish, aqueous and UV. The coating can help create surface gloss, reduce ink absorbency or alter the weight. Varnish The Recycle for Greater Manchester campaigns team will also be attending a number of local community and business events over the next few months to continue to spread the message about what can be recycled. People often think that it doesn’t matter if wrong items get mixed up with their recycling and that they will all get removed later.

Unfortunately, we are finding too many wrong items and lorry loads of recycling are getting rejected. Councillor Alex Ganotis, Greater Manchester’s Green City Region lead, said: “Contamination in Greater Manchester’s paper and card recycling bins has always been a problem, but recently we’re facing increasing challenges. Bond paper is a strong, high-quality and durable paper. It was originally used for creating government bonds but is now used for letterheads and stationery. Gloss Coated Paper Keep away from damp. Paper is designed with a specific moisture level which will be compromised by wet. Damp paper jams printers. If you want to be a greener business and kinder to the environment, choose a recycled paper. Many of our recycled papers are produced from 100% recovered fibre and are FSC® accredited. Silk Coated PaperWhen printing photos on either inkjet or laser printers, it is vital to use the correct photo paper. If you are using an inkjet printer, you should have inkjet photo paper; for a laser printer, use laser photo paper. Most manufacturers, such as HP, Epson and Canon, recommend that you use their photo paper. However, there are also very good alternatives, including 5 Star and Kodak. The better we all are at recycling, the more money we can save which can be used to support other council services.” For more information on the campaign, or to book on to a free open day to see your recycling in action, visit www.recycleforgreatermanchester.com/bolton-recycles
