Deinking To ensure a high recovered-paper recycling rate, it is necessary not only to remove non-fibre materials, such as wood, plastic and metal as described in section Unit operations and equipment in recycled fibre processing, but also, in particular, printing inks; high recovered-paper recycling rates would be impossible without practically complete removal of ink.
