Via every techie's favourite webiste, Slashdot, comes this story about Self-Recycling Paper:
"This system uses a coated paper and special ink to produce a copy that will fade over 16 hours, or sooner if the paper is put back in the copy tray. It can then be reused for a new copy, up to 10 times."
I remember when people used to talk about the paperless office as if it were an achievable reality. Now that it seems that we'll always favour the convenience of paper, then self-recycling paper feels like the next most logical step. Paper that is better for the environment, creates less waste and keeps all the portability and ubiquity of real paper just proves that green tech has got a long way to go still!

Recycling Paper is a very good idea. It helps minimize the use of our trees. I suggest kids not to burn paper just recycle it. it's a great help for our nature.
