DU college recycles used papers for office use

In a novel initiative, students of a Delhi university college are recycling used papers for making several products to be used at the institute's offices.

"We started working on a project 'Use of Innovative Raw Material for Handmade Paper' in 2014. Besides recycling used papers we are also trying to make paper out of other (useless and non-wood) materials," the Zakir Husain Delhi College principal Sangeeta Pandita told PTI.

She said the students trained under the project are now making 70-100 paper sheets per day and recasting them into different products.
