| Bond Paper: white or coloured office bond paper (valuable) |
| Newsprint: newspapers (medium value) |
| ...recycled into more paper, the fibres will shorten every time it's recycled, so virgin fibre is usually mixed in to keep the quality of "office paper". |
| Mixed paper: shiny magazines, shiny flyers (low value) |
| ... recycled newsprint can have several end uses: more newsprint (remembering that the fibers are being shortened, so the integrity of the paper product is a problem), or it can be made into a pulpy, fluffy, dry insulation to be blown into your ceiling (and other places!) |
| ...these sorts of glossy papers are more of a contaminant. The clay and all the additives are a big problem. Apparently recycled paper mills will add this to other paper mixes in small amounts. |
