Then what is recycled paper?
A paper product containing those percentages of post-consumer material (2) and/or recycled fiber (12) categories required by specifications and so labelled.
Currently, there is no agreement on what the term “recycled paper” means, beyond the fact that it contains recovered fiber (which may be pre-consumer and/or post-consumer). You should establish strong post-consumer standards in your specifications and ensure that suppliers meet those standards. You must also question what others mean by “recycled paper” unless the post-consumer content is clearly labeled. (conservatree.org)
