Newspaper can be recycled again and again how many times ?

Correct answer: D. 5

  • A. 2
  • B. 3
  • C. 4
  • D. 5

Explanation

Paper fibres become shorter and weaker each time they are pulped, so newspaper is commonly stated in textbook questions to be recyclable about five times. The number is an approximate practical value and depends on the paper and recycling process. Students may choose 2 or 3 by assuming paper fibres lose usefulness after only a few cycles.
