The grouping of Paper & Card is a broad category but captures a wide range of different specific categories/types within the [[recycling]] sector that essentially specializes in the [[recycling]] and the national and international trading of the fibre (from the different types) back into paper and cardboard (and to some degree the value of fibre in recycled paper and card types links back the value and availability of fibre derived from trees and wood). Each time Paper & Card is recycled the fibre length shortens, resulting in a progressive use towards lower grades of Paper & Card products over time. | The grouping of Paper & Card is a broad category but captures a wide range of different specific categories/types within the [[recycling]] sector that essentially specializes in the [[recycling]] and the national and international trading of the fibre (from the different types) back into paper and cardboard (and to some degree the value of fibre in recycled paper and card types links back the value and availability of fibre derived from trees and wood).
