repulp

Re-pulverize fibrous material

To repulp is to return something to pulp form—typically paper products being recycled back into raw fiber for reprocessing: The mill repulps cardboard and newsprint.

The term appears in papermaking and recycling contexts, describing the wet grinding process that breaks down finished paper into usable pulp again.
