Are all of those 90 million liters used, as in "lost", or is a large percentage of it captured/re-used?

water can never be "lost", it always comes back
Captured, reused, or cleaned and discharged back into the adjacent river.

(I didn’t work in a paper mill but have family who has and I’ve been to them plenty of times to ask questions of the engineers)

I assume it's the same as shower water
