| The mill uses 100 per cent recycled paper to create its products and the first stage of the operation is to break it down into a pulp. |
 |
Paper can only be recycled five or six times before this process of repeatedly tearing the fibres apart means it can’t be used again. |
 |
| The pulp is then mixed with water, starch and dyes in large vats.. |
 |
| This mixture is filtered for solid objects like staples or paper clips and spun in a centrifuge to refine it further. |
 |
| The mixture is then fed through a series of pipes into a machine. |
 |
| The machine spreads it in a sheet over a fine mesh bed, through which water is filtered out. |
 |
| A special roller then imprints a watermark while others squeeze out more water before the paper begins a tortuous journey through a series of steam-filled drums to dry it further. |  |
| After this the paper passes through more rollers which control its thickness and weight.. |
 |
| At this point measurements are taken of the paper’s thickness and weight and adjustments made as necessary. |
 |
| The paper, now gathered on massive rolls, is taken to a cutting machine which slices it to a variety of sizes. |
