Question

[123]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A paper recycling unit in a town collects old notebooks, newspapers and cartons, soaks them, and turns them into fresh paper.

When schoolchildren visit, they see their old notebooks return as new sheets — a visible lesson that waste is not an end but a material waiting for a second life. Recycling works best when households separate paper at home." How does recycled paper save resources?
