Carbon paper gets its name because the blue ink used for printing was made from a carbon base. Carbonless paper is practically made as an alternative to carbon paper, as it does not require any kind of special ingredient like carbon. The name of this product is derived from the fact that it makes copies “without” leaving any carbon behind, like last time when there was no ink involved at all in the copying process.

Mechanical duplication is a carbonless process. The paper can be fed into most typewriters to make duplicate copies without using the old-fashioned carbon copying method. This saves time and money, so there’s no need to place carbon paper between each sheet. Carbonless mechanical duplication works by taking advantage of pressure sensitivity on the printing surface of one sheet – which means all you have to do is apply pressure onto the topmost sheet with your hand or typewriter before placing it onto the stack, and voila! Thanks to the unique printing process, the information from that top sheet will then be duplicated onto each form underneath.

OCC includes things like newsprint, egg cartons, pizza boxes, and cereal box liners but not solid brown or white cardboard soda or beer boxes. They can be recycled if covered with plastic but otherwise, throw them away as you would a piece of junk mail because they are not recyclable (only 2% of this material gets recycled).
