What is shredded paper recycled into?
Shredded paper is collected, baled and taken to a paper mill where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp.  The pulp is screened for contaminants, cleaned, often de-inked and bleached, and then made into new paper products.  Shredded paper can be used to make  many new paper products.
