Sorry, but the glossy paper is not made of 'mostly clay', but is still
made from paper pulp. The clay coating is added at a later step in the

With newer technologies, clay coated stock is being recycled more, and
its even possible to recycle whole magazines (staples and all).

alot more about paper and recycling than I do concurs.)
