xuan paper recycle
Xuan paper cannot be recycled because its fibres and ink are entangled and difficult to separate and process within standard recycling systems, which are optimised for mass-produced paper. The high-quality, organic fibres and sometimes mineral additives used in Xuan paper's construction make it a unique material, unlike common paper that is easily broken down and reformed in the recycling process.
Hence, another way to recycle the used form of Xuan paper is in question during the practice of painting.
