Xerox's Reusable Paper




Xerox has determined that the bulk of the energy used to creat a printed document is in the paper ... close to a factor of 20:1 energy to make the paper vs. energy to print on it ... so to resue paper - not recycle but reuse - has the potential to save significant energy. " ... Steve Hoover, vice president with Xerox Research Center Webster, shows off a technology being developed ... that enables people to reuse a piece of paper. The paper contains a photochromic compound that makes ink disappear when hit by direct heat." Via: ZDNet LINK
