FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How Are Magazines Recycled?

The magazines will firstly be sorted, followed by pulping with water and chemicals to separate the paper fibers. The materials are stripped of its coating and screened to remove inks, glue and other contaminants. Once complete, the cleaned paper pulp can be combined with other fibers to create new products.

Are Glossy Magazines Recyclable?

Yes, glossy magazines are recyclable. Most glossy pages are made with paper coated in clay, which doesn’t prevent recycling. However, be sure to remove any plastic wrapping or bubble wrap often used for packaging magazines.

What Materials Are Magazines Made From?

Magazines are typically made from coated, glossy or matte paper, with inks that are often oil-based, UV-curable, or eco-friendly like soy-based inks. Covers and pages may feature protective coatings like UV varnish, lamination, or specialty finishes such as embossing, foil stamping, or metallic designs.

Binding methods vary, with saddle-stitch (staples) used for thinner magazines and perfect binding (glue) for thicker ones. Some may include additional materials like plastic polybags for supplements or protection.
