Abstract: The aim of this article is to make people aware about the needs and requirements of the recycling of the waste papers as the traditional papers are made from the wooden pulp of trees. Thus trees are cut for the fulfillment of papers in the whole world. The paper mills are the world’s third largest industry that are responsible for the pollution. The paper industry is responsible not only for air pollution but also land pollution, water pollution etc. If we encourage the people for recycling, we can save the trees and also environment. A waste paper can be recycled seven times for reuse again and again. Thus we should recycle the waste papers whenever it is possible.
