Some scientists at Hewlett-Packard have been researching so-called deinking procedures and think they have figured out a way to help make it a more integral part of the entire paper-recycling process. The way recycling works today, apparently, is that the paper is subjected to several different stages of processing, where it is shredded shred n. 1.

HP s new process is part of its liquid electrophotographic printing technology. Basically, it cuts the recycling process down substantially. By using different chemicals, deinking can be handled during the pulping stage and the ink can later be skimmed skim v. skimmed, skim·ming, skims v.tr. 1. a.
