    Recycle sub paper. Lets go green.

    Hi guys
    Is Trupix paper or any sub paper recyclable or has it been treated in such a way that it cant be recycled.
    I have a bin full of off cuts and want to know what to do with them. I was thinking of shredding them even finer for the compost heap but again thought about any chemicals.
    Many thanks
    Iain

    Equipment used A4 Ricoh printer, HP3085 Heat Press Graphtec cutter, Jarin mug press, CJV 30-60 solvent printer and lots of help from DSF.

    i cut mine down and then use them for note pads or shred them if i have too many and they go in the recycling bin, never thought about what residue of chemicals might be on them

    If a glossy magazines can be recycled, then I don't see why used sub papers can't be.

    That's why I am asking the question Nik. Also the sub ink is different to normal ink. So is it ok to recycle? Maybe if Sawgrass could tell us.
    Many thanks
