Is BOPP thermal synthetic paper recyclable?

BOPP thermal synthetic paper is recyclable. The following is a detailed analysis of its recyclability:

1、 Recyclability of synthetic paper

There are many types of synthetic paper, which can be divided into PP synthetic paper, HDPE synthetic paper, PS synthetic paper, etc. according to the different production materials. Among them, the raw material source and manufacturing process of PP (polypropylene) synthetic paper will not cause environmental changes or damage, and the product can be 100% recycled after use. Even if incinerated, because its plastic substrate only contains carbon and oxygen elements, it will not produce toxic or harmful gases. Therefore, from the perspective of material properties, BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) thermosensitive synthetic paper has recyclability.

2、 Recyclable processing of thermal paper

Thermal paper, as a coated paper, although has a lower recycling rate compared to uncoated paper, can still be recycled. The recycled thermal paper waste will undergo a series of special treatments, including crushing, de ink treatment, and recycled fiber utilization, to achieve resource reuse and reduce environmental pollution. These processing procedures are also applicable to BOPP thermal sensitive synthetic paper.

3、 Environmental significance and social value

Recycling BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper has significant environmental and social value. Firstly, recycling waste paper can reduce the consumption of natural resources and lower environmental pollution. Secondly, recycling waste paper can reduce production costs and improve economic efficiency. In addition, recycling and reusing BOPP thermosensitive synthetic paper can also promote the development of circular economy and facilitate the achievement of sustainable development goals.

In summary, BOPP thermal synthetic paper is recyclable and the recycling process meets environmental requirements. In order to promote its recycling and reuse, it is recommended that consumers and businesses actively participate in waste paper recycling activities, put BOPP thermal synthetic paper and other waste paper into recyclable materials, and jointly contribute to environmental protection.
