Broke is classified as trimmings, shavings, or poor–quality paper produced in the initial paper manufacturing process that is not for sale–in fact, it never leaves the mill. Broke is not counted as recycled or recovered material. Broke is returned as an input to the beginning of the papermaking process and is used in creating new paper.
