The flowchart reveals the information about how waste paper is recycled. Overall, it can bee that there are six stages in this process beginning from the initial collection of the waste paper to final at production of usable paper.

In the initial stages for recycling the process, first the waste paper is collected either from paper banks where members of the public leave their used papers or directly from businesses. This paper is then sorted by hand and separated according to its grade, with any paper that is not suitable for recycling being removed. Next, the graded papers are transported to a paper mill with the help of different transportation such as trucks and lorries.

In the subsequent stages, basically stage four and five of the process both involve cleaning. The paper is cleaned and pulped, and foreign objects such as staples are taken out. Following this, inks and glues are removed from the paper at the de-inking stage. Finally, the pulp can be processed in a paper making machine which makes the end product as a usable paper.
