Summary

There is a very simple but powerful reason why something should be done about reducing newsprint waste – economics.

Money saved on newsprint is money earned.

In addition, a reduction in waste is generally accompanied by a reduction in downtime and an improvement in quality.

The topic has always been an important one, but with the increasing cost of newsprint and a not-too-bright supply situation, the question of how to control waste is becoming even more urgent.

This report updates the treatment of newsprint waste control found in WAN-IFRA’s Newsprint and Newsink Guide, which was published in 1993.
