I received this message in today's mail.
are there any paperclayers in the UK that are interested? If not
paperclay, then perhaps a
paperdust-fired kiln?
"A few hundred pounds" sounds like a lot to me.

Hi there,

I have just put a search in Google to find out if there is a use for
paper dust!

We are a printing company (in the UK) that uses tons of paper and as
part of the process, we generate paper dust that is collected by an
extraction system into a special container. We collect a few hundred
pounds in the course of a year and then have to dispose of it to
landfill.

Any ideas you may have for using it productively would be much
appreciated.
