Hi Andy,

Apologies for the delay.

It takes about 8 minutes for materials to be sorted through our Materials Recycling Facility at Ford, West Sussex from feeding them in the hopper to being baled.

To recycle and reprocess newspaper to newspaper or cardboard box to cardboard box takes between 6-7 weeks.

The streams and bale weights are below.

Tessa

Three streams and average bale weights are:

News & Pams - 800kg

This includes newspapers, magazines, brochures, yellow pages, white paper, leaflets

Mixed Paper - 940kg

This includes cereal boxes, cardboard, paper wrapping paper, greetings cards, tetrapak, ben and jerry style cartons

OCC (old corrugated card) - 780kg

This is all cardboard with the wavy line of card in the middle, the majority is brown card
