She was an auditor, but since her daughter was born she learned to make accessories for birthdays and parties. The Antonio N\u00fa\u00f1ez Jim\u00e9nez Foundation proposed to her making paper by hand and in that way Yunairy started learning on her own. Not many in Cuba do that kind of work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">She searched online videos on how to recycle paper. Although she knows of some experiences in Holgu\u00edn, Pinar del R\u00edo and a workshop of the City of Havana Historian\u2019s Office, she has not had contact with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span lang=\"en-US\">I changed technique three times until a got to what I use now. There are many variants but I stayed with the most comfortable for me. We made the press ourselves here,\u201d she recalls.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_100645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100645\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-100645\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Papel-Reciclado-Foto-Claudio-Pelaez-Sordo_-14-755x490-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Claudio Pelaez Sordo\" width=\"755\" height=\"490\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-100645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Claudio Pelaez Sordo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">She has never bought a pound of raw material. Friends, the family and acquaintances bring her used newspapers, magazines, books, notebooks, cards and telephone books. One time an enterprise gave her useless documents from the old archives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Although making recycled paper is more difficult than producing it industrially, the first is more ecological. Yuy\u00fa doesn\u2019t use chemicals of any type, and this gives each sheet a special value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span lang=\"en-US\">In the industry everything is mixed and later bleached, but I want to make ecological paper.

The sheets are the size of an A3 page and producing each one of them costs her 2 Cuban pesos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Yuy\u00fa doesn\u2019t sell the paper as such, but rather as notebooks, notepads, diaries, envelopes, folders, pens, archive cases, key rings, information pamphlets, diplomas, bags and boxes. She prints them herself, and the products are personalized. Jigsaw puzzles for Alejandra also come out of her workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"en-US\">Don&#8217;t you use chemicals for the color? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span lang=\"en-US\">No. If a want to make cone color paper I use cardboard.
