       Erasable paper on forefront of recycling  
Researchers in California have developed a unique kind of  
reusable paper on which ink and writing disappear, making  
it the latest word in recycling.  After the paper is used,  
words and images reportedly fade after 16 to 24 hours, The  
Mail on Sunday reported. One piece of paper can be used  
up to 100 times, said experts at the Palo Alto Research  
Center in California, where the paper is being developed  
in collaboration with Xerox.  The paper can reportedly be  
made blank by exposing it to a heat source such as a light.  
Researchers said they are looking for ways to have the  
ink disappear without the use of a heat source.  Xerox  
has told customers they will need to buy a beam-powered  
printer that is specially made for the erasable paper,  
the newspaper said.
