Waste paper sorting plants are an important part of the recycling process, and waste paper is collected and reused. The basic operations and processes carried out in these facilities are as follows:

• Collection and Transportation: Waste paper is collected from various sources (houses, workplaces, schools, etc.). The collected paper is transported to recycling facilities.
• Sorting and Classification: Waste paper is separated according to its type (newspaper, cardboard, writing paper, etc.). Foreign materials (plastic, metal, food waste, etc.) are separated by manual or automatic systems.
• Baling and Shipping: The separated waste paper is compressed in bale presses and transported to paper mills.
