Paper Recycling

Clean, Bright Recycled Paper with Evonik’s Hydrogen Peroxide

Paper recycling helps preserve natural resources and save energy compared to paper production from virgin wood cellulose fibers. Yet consumers still demand that recycled paper be bright and high quality. Evonik’s advanced oxidation technologies deliver cleaner fibers, improved brightness, and reduced environmental impact. Because every sheet deserves a second life.
