Recyling in the US is in BIG trouble. Inkjet,Indigo, UV printing are part of the problem. Quote from Axel Fischer of INGEDE
In Europe it is different, here "undeinkable papers" (and this includes UV
and Indigo) is banned from paper for deinking according to the EN643. It has
to be kept separately at major sources such as printers and directed towards
corrugated only.
Also all European ecolabels exclude undeinkable printed products, HP Indigo
yet has not received any ecolabel here. This is why they put so much effort
into creating their own ISO standard, they have "hired" someone heading a
working group to force this, and we are fighting it ...
