recycled paper
Post-consumer writing material
Recycled paper is paper made wholly or partly from recovered paper fibers rather than virgin wood pulp.
The term appears on packaging and office supplies to signal environmental consciousness: We print all our brochures on recycled paper.
Quality varies—post-consumer recycled paper comes from paper that reached end users, while pre-consumer comes from manufacturing scraps.
