Now we are making another effort for the sake of our environment. Old books that you previously sorted as combustible waste at our recycling centers, you can now leave for recycling instead. Since the turn of the year 2017/2018, we have boxes for collecting books in our ReTuna container at Lilla Nyby Recycling Center. At ReTuna, you instead hand in your old books to ReTuna's depot Returen. All books submitted are sorted. Those that are whole and salable go to Eva's book corner at ReTuna Återbruksgalleria, the rest goes to recycling. So far, we have collected over 51 tons of books for material recycling, and there will be more. In addition to Lilla Nyby and ReTuna, there are also ReTuna containers at Kvitten- and Leggesta Recycling Center. Hur återvinns böckerna? Under många år har man eldat upp alla böcker som inte längre är brukbara. Nu skickar vi istället vidare dem till pappersbruk där man kan plocka bort den hårda pärmen från pappret och därmed återvinna materialet som blir nytt pappersfiber. I första steget krossas böckerna för att pappret ska kunna separeras i största möjliga mån från övrigt material. Pappret löses därefter upp i något som kallas pulpen, en typ av bassäng som är försteget till en pappersmaskin. Detta görs för att få bort exempelvis plast eller annat material från pappret. Materialet skiktas sedan för att det nya pappersfibret ska kunna skapas. Did you know that books can actually be recycled up to seven times before the paper fibers are used up? Of course, the best thing is to reuse the books, either for reading or as wrapping paper. Thank you for sorting and recycling! 44 2020 62 2019 62 2018 69 2017 38 2016 14 2015 19 2014 55 Recycling 42 Water and sewer 20 Electricity network 14 Electricity trading 2 City network 21 District heating 13 About EEM The page was updated on July 5, 2018.
