1. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT
Deforestation is one of the biggest problems that the world is facing. Thousands and thousands trees are cut down to make the paper that we use every day. Major labor is working as well to make the papers that we use every day.
The question is what do we do with our waste papers? Most of us simply throw away the paper. Most of the countries have big paper plants. However how about educating the younger generation how hard paper is made. This is the topic that we tried to reach to and solve.
The method that we use is common but we have used natural dye which makes our project special

2. BACKGROUND REASERCH

Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees. -Paper recycling history
Paper recycling has existed for almost as long as paper itself has: The first paper was made from repurposed fabric. Paper recycling as a modern municipal system began in the 19th century, when curbside pickup was first instituted, and sorting centers were opened. Soon, government agencies began passing laws requiring residences and businesses to recycle paper and other reusable materials. In the 21st century, paper recycling faces new issues, as advocates work to make the process as green as possible. Paper made of recycled materials has been produced in the United States since 1690, when William Rittenhouse established a paper mill near what would become the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His mill used recycled linens, specifically old rags and cotton, to make paper. This method of papermaking came from China, where it had been used since 105.

In 1031, Japan pioneered paper recycling when it began using waste paper to make new paper. All Japanese paper was repulped and made into new product for sale in paper stores. Around the time of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin was using recycled scrap paper for printing. After the U.S. became its own country, the Massachusetts state government instituted a law requiring that all the towns in the state have a person whose job it is to collect rags for the paper mills.
19th Century Paper Recycling
In England in the early 1800s, mill owner Matthias Koops patented a process that removed ink from paper before it was recycled. This is now a common practice known as deinking. Koops also experimented with making paper from different fibers, including straw. His mill went bankrupt and closed in 1803, but his research led to the later use of wood pulp in papermaking.
Curbside recycling began in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1874. In 1897, the Benedetto family created the first U.S. "recycling center" when they began collecting old newspapers, rags and other trash in a pushcart in New York City. Now, their great-grandson, Joseph Benedetto, runs TFC Recycling in Chesapeake, Virginia. "Rag-and-bone" collectors were a fixture in Victorian Britain, patrolling the streets and calling out to residents to bring out their reusable goods.
The year 1897 also saw the first recycling sorting station, again in New York City, where paper and metal, among other trash, was picked through and reused or recycled. In 1895, Col. George Waring became New York City's street cleaning commissioner. He instituted the first comprehensive municipal waste management system, declaring that various different forms of trash (ashes, organic refuse, street sweepings and paper) must be deposited in different bins for collection by the city. Some of the reusable waste was also resold.

Pre-World War II Paper Recycling
During World War I, the recycling movement gathered speed as the nation tightened its belt. The Waste Reclamation Service was created by the government, and paper mills began recycling thousands of tons of newspapers, books, and documents.
In 1929, Sacramento, California, boosted its garbage men's pay by an extra 25 cents daily when it began selling city scrap paper to a private company and giving the profits back to its workers. Post-WWII Paper Recycling
On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. This heralded the movement of recycling into the mainstream consciousness. Schools began teaching environmental awareness and instituting recycling programs.
Direct mail advertising came into vogue in the mid-1970s. Companies' campaigns produced an incredible volume of waste paper, about 14 percent of which was recycled by consumers who had received it. It quickly became a billion-dollar industry, generating 70 billion pieces of mail a year.
The year 1986 saw the first modern recycling law, passed in Rhode Island, which required that residents and businesses separate glass and plastic, aluminum and newspaper from their nonrecyclable trash.
In 1987, a garbage barge named the Mobro spent six months trying to find a place to dump its trash, which was mostly made up of paper. It roamed the east coast of North and South Americas, making it all the way down to Belize before coming back to New York, where it had originated, to dump its load. Its plight highlighted the need for better recycling practices in the U.S.
In 1988, California's state government gave recycled paper a boost when it adopted a purchasing policy, which cut prices on paper with at least 50 percent recycled content and 10 percent postconsumer content. (Postconsumer content, in terms of paper, means used and discarded papers like flyers, packaging, and circulars.) Every state government in the U.S. followed suit by the early 1990s, as did the federal government in 1993, when President Clinton decreed that federal agencies must buy paper that had at least 20 percent postconsumer content. The Present Day
There are several key issues facing paper recycling today. One main problem is that U.S. paper mills are closing because paper prices from overseas competition are driving the price up in the U.S. Another issue involves single-stream collection, which is the practice of putting all recyclables into one curbside container. In the past, community recycling programs required consumers to separate recyclable materials into more categories; currently more of these programs use single-stream collection. A 2003 study by the nonprofit organization Conservatree found that this method of collection means more material is recycled, and the cost of the recycling process is reduced. However, single-stream recycling can also contaminate paper and reduce its value.

The purpose of this project
The main purpose of the project is to play our role as much as we can to heal the world, because waste and deforestation are huge problems in the world right now.

3. METHODS -the paper recycling.
1. We made the drying screen.
2. We collected all the waste papers in our school.
3. Teared the paper into small pieces let them soak for 24 hours.
4. After the soaking we blended the paper until it is paste like.
6. We boiled the paper with baby powder and starch so it sticks together more and its smooth. We boil with the natural dye.
5. We put the paper on the screen and let it dry.
