Abstract:
This paper argues that the American newsprint recycling laws passed during the late 1980s and early 1990s not only failed to achieve their stated environmental objectives, but failed so spectacularly that they actually contributed to further environmental harm. These laws, which imposed a recycled content standard on new newsprint production, had three intentions: to decrease landfill space requirements, to preserve forests, and to encourage the recycling of used newsprint. Insofar as the first two intentions are concerned, this paper finds that the American newsprint recycling laws had a negligible effect on both landfill space and forest conservation. But by succeeding in elevating the amount of newsprint recycling far beyond what it would otherwise be, industry compliance with these laws may have actually increased environmental harm. From a Canadian perspective, these laws essentially encouraged Canadian newsprint producers to import American newsprint waste. In addition, by imposing compliance costs on American and Canadian newsprint producers in the range of several billions of dollars, these laws prevented capital from being productively spent on other environmental initiatives. Surveying alternatives to government mandated recycling legislation, this paper ends by concluding that if governments wish to improve environmental outcomes through newsprint recycling, their best option may be to extend the functioning of markets.

Abstract:
Virgin newsprint paper from thermo-mechanical pulp was subjected to a laboratory recycling scheme, which involved mimeograph-printing, re-pulping, de-inking, washing, refining, and handsheetforming, without adding other fibre in between cycles. Fibre dimension, pulp freeness and paper properties were determined after each cycle until the fifth, at which about 20% of the original material remained. The remaining fibre was then mixed with virgin pulp, the original newsprint and unsorted mixed office waste to determine the proportion necessary for acceptable properties. The results indicated remarkable modification in distribution of fibre properties, a decreasing amount of long fibre with corresponding increase of short fibre in the course of recycling and loss of fibre. Refining generally improved the strength properties of paper from recycled fibre. About 20 % to 30 % of either thermo-mechanical pulp or unsorted mixed office waste was found sufficient for blending with recycled fibre to obtain acceptable strength properties.

Abstract:
AbstractThe quantity of paper recycled in the U.S. has more than doubled since 1985. International trade theory predicts that this will lead to reduced imports of paper, and a shift in domestic production toward waste paper intensive outputs (e.g., newsprint) and away from higher grade products such as printing/writing paper. Import demand elasticities with respect to input prices were estimated for newsprint, printing/writing, and all paper utilizing 20 years of monthly data. The empirical results confirm the predictions of theory, and illustrate a channel through which recycling may be more beneficial for U.S. industry than the domestic environment.

Abstract:
This paper derives price-cost margins for the old newspaper (ONP) input market for newsprint manufacture and then examines the effects of two government policies and two variables measuring the market performances of ONP input and newsprint output on the oligopsonist's ONP price-cost margins. In the wastepaper recycling market in particular, the ONP input market has not been successful in using the ONP generated. The outcomes of the study are that various degrees of price distortions existed in the ONP input markets in four regions of the United States during 1972–1995. Demand-side policy had a positive effect and supply-side policy had a negative effect on ONP price–cost margins in all regions.

Abstract:
It has long been known that waste newsprint can be deinked effectively only if a proportion of coated waste is added to it. Coated waste paper is not always in good supply, and can cost more than waste newsprint. The present research has thrown new light on why coated waste is required. In flotation deinking, two distinct processes act to separate ink from pulped stock. Firstly, air bubbles rising through the liquid phase collect ink particles and carry them to the surface. The ink particles are then retained by the foam on the surface until it is removed. The commercial deinking plant that was the subject of the present study uses a proprietary chemical, which is intended to act effectively in both processes. Chemical speciation has shown that the chemical species in the foam and in the bulk solution have similar thermodynamic properties. This implies that the chemical process operates independently of the presence of coated waste. Comparison of results gathered in full-scale and in pilot deinking equipment has shown that the foam is more stable when the waste paper being deinked contains coated waste. The key role of coated material is therefore to stabilise the foam, and so prevent re-mixing of ink with the deinked fibre slurry. These facts suggest that to achieve good deinking without having to use coated waste, other means of maintaining foam stability must be sought.

Abstract:
Mondi Ltd. operates a deinking plant at its Merebank mill. The plant recycles 85 000 tons per annum of flat news and magazine to produce a furnish for its newsprint papermachines. A review of the relevant pulping and flotation chemistry literature revealed that the role played by sodium silicate appears to be multi-faceted and in some dispute. Sodium silicate has an undisputed role in pH buffering, hydrogen peroxide stabilisation and the prevention of fibre yellowing. However, its role in deinking is said to be that of an ink collector or alternatively an ink dispersant. The mill's own experience has shown that the sodium silicate plays a vital role in the deinking process. Sodium silicate's ability to disperse ink, both alone and in the presence of calcium ions and fatty acid soaps, was investigated using a model ink system. A representative newsprint ink base was dispersed in the laboratory under conditions similar to those encountered in a deinking pulper. The resultant dispersions were studied using turbidity and particle size analysis. The morphology of the ink particles was determined using a scanning electron microscope. Sodium silicate proved to be a poor disperser of ink particles, but nevertheless appeared to greatly influence the dispersing properties of the soap in the presence of calcium ions. The nature of the interactions between sodium silicate, calcium ions and the collector soap were studied in an attempt to elucidate the role of sodium silicate. A model system consisting of the sodium salt of collector soap, calcium ions and sodium silicate was studied under the conditions that prevail in a typical newsprint deinking pulper. It was found that the soap and the sodium silicate compete for the calcium ions, and sodium silicate showed a measurable chelating e:ffect on calcium ions. Thus, increasing levels of sodium silicate lead to an increase in the concentration of sodium soap in solution. It was hypothesised that this effect would lead to better dispersion of ink particles and improved deinking performance. This chelating effect was evaluated in laboratory deinking studies. Samples of newsprint were pulped in a 251 Lamort laboratory pulper under a variety of conditions, viz. with fresh water, with an excess of soap, with an excess of calcium, with and without sodium silicate. The pulps were floated in a 201 flotation cell. The brightness and colour of the unfloated and floated pulps were measured. The level of the final brightness after flotation was taken as a measure of deinking efficiency. The highest final brightness was achieved when there was an excess of sodium soap and a low Ca hardness in the pulper. Softening the water used in pulping without adding excess sodium soap did not significantly improve pulp brightness. The lowest final brightness occurred in the presence of an excess of calcium in the pulper. Calcium in the pulper in the presence of sodium silicate did not result in a significantly lower final brightness. The results support the hypothesis that sodium silicate sequesters the soluble calcium in a pulping system, thereby increasing the sodium soap concentration and the resultant deinking performance. Apart from sodium silicate's chief role as a peroxide stabiliser, the sequestering action on calcium appears to be its main mechanism of action in a deinking system. An appreciation of this role will facilitate the optimisation of deinking systems with respect to calcium hardness and silicate concentration. To this end it was recommended that the Merebank deinking plant should evaluate the use of water with a low calcium ion concentration and the addition of some soap into the pulper to improve their deinking plant performance.

Abstract:
There has been considerable interest in finding and explaining the basic elements that can drive product quality up. In the literature this is largely done by modelling the effects of investing in learning and process improvement, and of cost reduction. In the first essay, demand is modelled as a function of price and quality. With this demand function, the firm should produce output of higher quality, the increase in quality being dependent on consumers’ sensitivity to quality and to price, and the effect of technological improvement on product price and quality are very different from those when the demand is a function of price alone. Some twenty states in the U.S. have passed recycling laws which mandate consumption of old newspaper by the newsprint industry. To study the effect of regulation, a model is used in which two firms compete under the regulatory constraint—one firm producing the recycled product, the other the virgin product. Assuming the regulatory constraint is binding, and the demand for the recycled product is derived solely from the legislation, interesting results such as the two firms share equal profits, and consumers pay higher average price in competitive equilibrium than the cartel price, are obtained in the second essay. The two firm model is generalized to include n firms which compete under the same kind of regulatory constraint in the third essay. Results similar to the two firm case are obtained. When the recycled product and the virgin product are partially substitutable, regulation that mandates consumption of the recycled product results in infinitely many equilibria. A dominating equilibrium exists if the demand parameters satisfy a certain condition, otherwise it is not clear how to select an equilibrium. On the other hand, a suitable tax on the virgin product, or its producer, serves to induce compliance with the recycling policy and equilibrium selection. The equilibrium prices and profits of the two firms under the schemes of production tax, excessive consumption tax and progressive profit tax are examined and compared in the fourth essay. It is interesting to find that the tax rate for excessive consumption is comparatively low and, in equilibrium, this tax scheme collects no tax payment.
