This is good technology. Once you have bought paper and taken it to work or home and printed on it, it is a very resource intensive effort to re-collect it, take it back to a paper manufacturer in order to recycle it. I don’t think the process is cost effective, its just one of those things that makes us feel good. Having a small machine that recycles the paper right at the distributed source would save a lot of energy.

Somehow I’m wondering if vaporizing polymers is ‘greener’ than just throwing the stuff in the trash?

In old times parchments (stretched sheep, calf, or goat skins) were regularly recycled by scraping off the ink of earlier writings for reuse. Same basic concept and, except that the vaporized ink is probably not the best stuff to breathe in, pretty cool.

Oh goody. Once we find a way to do this with toilet paper, Sheryl Crowe can go back to using more than one square!

If you're really worried about CO2 in the air, you shouldn't recycle paper at all. Every carbon atom in a sheet of paper was once part of a C02 molecule in the atmosphere. It's been sucked out of the atmosphere and sequestered in the paper. The thing to do with unwanted paper is bury it so deep the oxygen in the air can't get at it. That way you permanently remove it from the atmosphere. Recycling the paper passes up a chance to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere.

"Reusing rather than recycling paper would be good for the environment, they said." Enviro-Nazis plotting again. Who is paying for their "research"? Duplex printing will not be enough for them?

Lasers can 'unprint' documents That's nothing. Washington, DC politicians have been "unprinting" documents for decades.
Fortunately, some of us still retain copies...
