To all Colleagues and Friends,
As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those
who feel offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without
personally shaking their hand and exchanging best wishes.
I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible
to personally get to see you all with the short time that was available.
I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of “get in and get it
happening people” and I am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both
in the operation and (for a quite a lot of you) for your own personal accomplishements.
To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend
each of you for your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life
journeys.
I can be contacted if required on 081234567891
I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous Year.

Thanks, regards and best wishes,

Bill Jones

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be


thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers
to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and
uses it in new products.

In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less
energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the
demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced
during the manufacturing process.

Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper,
and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper
recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags
and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and
turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is
screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat
where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed
off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new
wood fibers to be made into paper again.

Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per
month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill
space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

8. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT...


a. Precious metals
b. Broken glass
c. Old newpapers
d. Plastic spoons
e. Fresh vegetables and fruits

9. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?


a. It costs much money for the process recycling
b. It costs less to make new products
c. It requires less energy
d. It can reduce pollution
e. It reduces the demand for high-pollution alternatives

10. What is the third step of recycling paper products?


a. Collect and search for contaminants such a plastic bags and alumunium foil
b. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp
c. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants
d. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres
e. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again
