USA Today wrote a story awhile back that blamed Post-it® Notes and other stickies for gumming up the recycling process and helping to put some recyclers out of business. Care to comment?
Post-it® Notes contain a small amount of adhesive but they are not “stickies.” Stickies are products such as mailing labels that are fully coated with permanent adhesive. Unlike these products, Post-it® Notes are 99% paper and only 1% low tack adhesive. Post-it® Notes can be recycled by any recycling mills that accept mixed-paper recycling.
